How much notice does a Nebraska mobile home eviction require?

It depends on the reason. Under Neb. Rev. Stat. §76-14,101(1), a material noncompliance or a health-and-safety violation requires a written notice that the agreement 'will terminate upon a date not less than thirty days after receipt,' with a chance to cure; under subsection (2), for unpaid rent the tenant has 'seven days after written notice' to pay before the landlord may terminate. This is general information, not advice about a specific case — consider consulting a licensed attorney in Nebraska.

Can a Nebraska park evict a resident for complaining?

No. Under §76-14,106, a landlord 'may not retaliate by increasing rent, decreasing services, bringing or threatening to bring an action for possession, or failing to renew' after a tenant complained to a government agency, complained to the landlord about a §76-1492 violation, organized or joined a tenants' union, or exercised rights under the Act.

Mobile home eviction rules in Nebraska

Q: Can a Nebraska resident fix the problem to avoid eviction?

Usually yes. Under §76-14,101(1), 'in the event the breach is remediable by repairs or the payment of damages and the tenant adequately remedies the breach or takes reasonable steps to remedy it prior to the date specified in the notice, the rental agreement shall not terminate.' And for nonpayment, paying within the 7-day notice period stops the termination.

Nebraska's Mobile Home Landlord and Tenant Act limits eviction to its own procedures, gives graduated notice and a right to cure, and bars retaliation. The information below describes how the law generally works; anyone facing a specific notice should consider consulting a licensed attorney in Nebraska.

What the statute says

Neb. Rev. Stat. §76-14,101 sets the grounds and notice. For "a noncompliance with section 76-1493 materially affecting health and safety or a material noncompliance by the tenant with the rental agreement," the landlord may give written notice that the agreement "will terminate upon a date not less than thirty days after receipt," but "if the breach is remediable ... and the tenant adequately remedies the breach or takes reasonable steps to remedy it prior to the date specified in the notice, the rental agreement shall not terminate" (subsection (1)). For unpaid rent, the landlord may terminate only if "the tenant fails to pay rent within seven days after written notice ... of nonpayment" (subsection (2)). Possession is recovered through a forcible-detainer action under §§76-1440 to 76-1447 (subsection (3)).

Section 76-14,104 provides that "a landlord may terminate a tenancy only by means of the procedures provided in the Mobile Home Landlord and Tenant Act," with holdover and liquidated damages for a willful bad-faith holdover. Retaliation is barred by §76-14,106, which lists complaints, organizing, and exercising statutory rights as protected, subject to a narrow exception when the tenant is "in default in rent five days after rent is due."

How it works in general

A Nebraska park must follow the Act to evict. For most violations — including health-and-safety breaches — it gives at least 30 days' written notice and a chance to cure; for unpaid rent it gives a 7-day notice to pay. If the tenant cures (or pays) in time, the tenancy does not terminate. If the tenancy is validly terminated and the resident stays, the landlord brings a forcible-detainer action in court. A landlord cannot use rent increases, service cuts, or eviction to retaliate against a resident for complaining, organizing, or asserting rights under the Act.

Common scenarios

General examples Nebraska park residents commonly encounter:

A nonpayment notice arrives. Paying within seven days of the written notice stops the termination (§76-14,101(2)).
A resident is cited for a rule or health-and-safety violation. Most carry a 30-day notice and a chance to cure (§76-14,101(1)).
A resident is targeted after complaining. Section 76-14,106 bars retaliatory rent increases, service cuts, and evictions.

Other authorities that may apply

The Mobile Home Landlord and Tenant Act sets the grounds, notice, and anti-retaliation rule, and the eviction is brought as a forcible-detainer action under §§76-1440 to 76-1447. A tenant facing retaliation has the remedies in §76-1498 and a defense to possession. Federal protections — the Fair Housing Act and the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act — can also apply.
