Neb. Rev. Stat. § 76-1401 et seq. § 76-1435
Remedy for termination.
Operative Text
If the rental agreement is terminated, the landlord is entitled to possession and may have a claim for rent and a separate claim for actual damages for breach of the rental agreement and reasonable attorney's fees as provided in subsection (3) of section 76-1431 .
Under Nebraska law, Neb. Rev. Stat. § 76-1435, when a rental agreement is terminated, the landlord regains the right to possession of the property. Beyond reclaiming possession, the landlord may also pursue separate legal claims for any unpaid rent and for actual damages caused by the tenant's breach of the rental agreement. Reasonable attorney's fees may also be recoverable, as referenced in the conditions set out in § 76-1431(3).
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Neb. Rev. Stat. § 76-1435, operators whose rental agreements have been terminated are generally positioned to pursue multiple distinct remedies: reclaiming possession of the unit, seeking unpaid rent, and filing a separate claim for actual damages resulting from the breach. Compliant operators typically document all losses carefully—such as costs of repairs, lost rent, and related expenses—to support any damages claim. Attorney's fees may also be recoverable under the conditions described in § 76-1431(3), so maintaining thorough records and working with qualified legal counsel is a common practice among property managers navigating this process.

Neb. Rev. Stat. § 76-1435 outlines the remedies available to a landlord when a rental agreement is terminated, including claims for possession, unpaid rent, actual damages, and potentially attorney's fees under § 76-1431(3). Tenants should be aware that these are separate claims, meaning a landlord could pursue more than one type of recovery simultaneously. Tenants facing such claims may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization or legal aid service to understand what defenses or counterclaims may be available under Nebraska law.
