Neb. Rev. Stat. § 76-1450 et seq. § 76-1456
Jurisdiction and service of process.
Operative Text
The district or county court of this state may exercise jurisdiction over any landlord or tenant with respect to any conduct in this state governed by the Mobile Home Landlord and Tenant Act or with respect to any claim arising from a transaction subject to the act for a dwelling unit located within its jurisdictional boundaries. Service outside this state may be made in the manner provided in section 25-540 .
Nebraska's Mobile Home Landlord and Tenant Act, under Neb. Rev. Stat. § 76-1456, establishes that district and county courts in Nebraska have the authority to hear cases involving landlords or tenants when the conduct or transaction at issue occurred in Nebraska and relates to a mobile home dwelling unit within that court's geographic boundaries. The provision also allows legal papers to be served on parties who are located outside Nebraska, following the procedures set out in section 25-540. This means that being physically outside the state does not automatically shield a party from Nebraska court proceedings tied to a covered mobile home tenancy.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Neb. Rev. Stat. § 76-1456, a landlord who owns or manages a mobile home dwelling unit in Nebraska is subject to the jurisdiction of the local district or county court for any matter governed by the Mobile Home Landlord and Tenant Act, regardless of where the landlord is personally located. Operators who reside or are incorporated outside Nebraska should be aware that service of process can reach them through the out-of-state service procedures referenced in section 25-540. Compliant operators generally maintain current contact information and registered-agent designations so that legal notices can be received and responded to promptly.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Neb. Rev. Stat. § 76-1456 means that tenants in a Nebraska mobile home dwelling unit can bring claims against a landlord in the appropriate district or county court covering that unit's location, even if the landlord lives or operates from another state. The provision's out-of-state service mechanism under section 25-540 helps ensure that a landlord's physical absence from Nebraska does not prevent a court from reaching them. Tenants who believe their rights under the Mobile Home Landlord and Tenant Act have been violated may consider consulting a tenant-rights organization or legal aid office to understand which court would have jurisdiction over their particular situation.
