Neb. Rev. Stat. § 76-1401 et seq. § 76-1440
Action for possession.
Operative Text
An action for possession of any premises subject to the Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act shall be commenced in the manner described by sections 76-1440 to 76-1447 .
Nebraska's Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act establishes a specific legal process that must be followed when seeking to recover possession of a residential rental property. Under Neb. Rev. Stat. § 76-1440, any action for possession must be commenced according to the procedures set out in sections 76-1440 through 76-1447, rather than through some other legal avenue. This framework ensures that both parties are subject to a uniform, defined process when a dispute over possession arises.

Under Neb. Rev. Stat. § 76-1440, property owners and managers who need to recover possession of a rental unit covered by Nebraska's Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act are generally expected to initiate that process through the specific procedures outlined in sections 76-1440 to 76-1447. Compliant operators typically ensure that any possession action follows this statutory framework from the outset, rather than relying on informal or alternative methods. Familiarity with the full sequence of sections 76-1440 through 76-1447 is generally part of how operators navigate the eviction process in Nebraska.
