Neb. Rev. Stat. § 76-1401 et seq. § 76-1406
Settlement; authorized.
Operative Text
A claim or right arising under the Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act or on a rental agreement may be settled by agreement.
Under Neb. Rev. Stat. § 76-1406, disputes or legal claims that arise under Nebraska's Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act, or under the terms of a rental agreement, can be resolved through a mutually agreed-upon settlement between the parties. This provision confirms that neither side is required to pursue formal litigation to resolve such matters. A negotiated agreement between landlord and tenant is a recognized and lawful way to bring a dispute to a close.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Neb. Rev. Stat. § 76-1406 means that property owners and managers have the option to resolve tenant disputes or claims through direct negotiation and written settlement rather than court proceedings. Compliant operators typically document any settlement in writing, clearly stating the terms both parties have agreed to, in order to avoid future misunderstandings. Keeping thorough records of settled claims is a common practice among well-managed rental operations.

Under Neb. Rev. Stat. § 76-1406, tenants have the recognized right to resolve claims arising from their rental agreement or under Nebraska's landlord-tenant law through a negotiated settlement with their landlord. This means a tenant is not obligated to go to court to address a dispute — a mutually acceptable agreement is a valid path to resolution. Tenants who want to understand their rights before entering any settlement may consider reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization or legal aid office for general information.
