Introduced Text

Nebraska LB1007 prohibits landlords from retaining security deposits if a rental agreement is not signed and bans nondisclosure terms in rental.

Nebraska LB1007 amends the Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act to prevent landlords from keeping security deposits when a rental agreement is not signed. It also prohibits landlords from including nondisclosure terms in rental agreements. If a landlord fails to return a security deposit or complies with these provisions, tenants can recover the deposit, court costs, and attorney's fees. If a landlord knowingly includes prohibited terms, tenants can recover actual damages and attorney's fees.
