Neb. Rev. Stat. § 76-1450 et seq. § 76-1467
Rent, defined.
Operative Text
Rent shall mean a payment to be made to a landlord pursuant to a rental agreement.
Nebraska Revised Statute § 76-1467 establishes a foundational definition within the state's landlord-tenant law: 'rent' refers specifically to any payment a tenant is obligated to make to a landlord under the terms of a rental agreement. This definition anchors how the term 'rent' is interpreted throughout Nebraska's residential landlord-tenant statutes. It does not address payment amounts, schedules, or methods — those details are governed by other provisions.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Neb. Rev. Stat. § 76-1467, the term 'rent' in Nebraska encompasses payments owed to a landlord as established by a rental agreement. Compliant operators typically ensure that any payment they characterize as 'rent' is clearly tied to an obligation set out in the written or oral rental agreement, since this definition shapes how rent-related rights and remedies are applied elsewhere in the statute. Keeping rental agreements clear and specific about what constitutes a required payment helps maintain consistency with this foundational definition.

Neb. Rev. Stat. § 76-1467 defines 'rent' as a payment owed to a landlord under a rental agreement, which means only amounts actually required by that agreement qualify as rent under Nebraska law. This distinction can matter when other provisions of the landlord-tenant statute reference rent — for example, in contexts involving late fees, nonpayment, or remedies. Tenants who have questions about whether a particular charge qualifies as 'rent' under their agreement may find it helpful to consult a tenant-rights organization or legal aid service familiar with Nebraska landlord-tenant law.
