Retaliatory conduct prohibited; remedies; landlord action for possession; when.
Operative Text
(1) Except as provided in this section, a landlord may not retaliate by increasing rent, decreasing services, bringing or threatening to bring an action for possession, or failing to renew a rental agreement after any of the following: (a) A tenant has complained in good faith to a government agency charged with responsibility for enforcement of any code of a violation applicable to the mobile home park materially affecting health and safety; (b) A tenant has complained to the landlord of a violation of section 76-1492 ; (c) A tenant has organized or become a member of a tenants' union or similar organization; or (d) A tenant has exercised any of the rights or remedies provided by the Mobile Home Landlord and Tenant Act or otherwise available at law. (2) If a landlord acts in violation of subsection (1) of this section, the tenant shall be entitled to the remedies provided in section 76-1498 and shall have a defense in an action for possession. (3) Notwithstanding subsections (1) and (2) of this section, a landlord may bring an action for possession if: (a) The violation of any applicable housing code was caused primarily by lack of reasonable care by the tenant or other person in the tenant's household or upon the premises with the tenant's consent; or (b) The tenant is in default in rent five days after rent is due unless otherwise agreed to by the landlord and tenant. The maintenance of the action shall not release the landlord from liability under subsection (2) of section 76-1498 .
Nebraska Revised Statute § 76-14,106 prohibits mobile home park landlords from taking adverse actions—such as raising rent, cutting services, threatening eviction, or refusing to renew a lease—against tenants who report code violations to government agencies, complain to the landlord about certain legal violations, join a tenants' union, or exercise rights under the Mobile Home Landlord and Tenant Act. A tenant who faces such retaliation is entitled to remedies under § 76-1498 and may use the retaliation as a defense in an eviction proceeding. The prohibition has limits: a landlord may still pursue possession if the tenant caused the code violation through lack of reasonable care, or if the tenant is more than five days behind on rent (unless the parties agreed otherwise).
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 76-14,106, compliant mobile home park operators are careful to ensure that any rent increases, service changes, non-renewals, or eviction actions are grounded in legitimate, documented business or legal reasons entirely unrelated to a tenant's protected activity—such as filing a code complaint, joining a tenants' organization, or asserting statutory rights. Operators generally maintain clear records showing the independent basis for any adverse action, particularly when such action follows closely after a tenant's protected conduct. The statute does preserve the right to pursue possession when a tenant has caused a code violation through their own lack of reasonable care or is more than five days past due on rent, but even in those cases the landlord remains potentially liable under § 76-1498 if retaliation is found.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section § 76-14,106 of Nebraska law protects mobile home park tenants from landlord retaliation when they report health or safety code violations to a government agency, complain to the landlord about certain legal violations, organize or join a tenants' union, or exercise rights under the Mobile Home Landlord and Tenant Act. If a landlord responds to such protected activity with a rent increase, service reduction, eviction threat, or non-renewal, the tenant may be entitled to remedies under § 76-1498 and can raise retaliation as a defense in any eviction proceeding. Tenants who believe they are experiencing retaliation may consider documenting the timeline of events, contacting a local tenant-rights organization, or consulting with a legal aid provider familiar with Nebraska mobile home park law.
