Nebraska Residential Lease Agreement

A residential lease agreement in Nebraska sets the rent, the term, and each party's responsibilities in writing. Nebraska caps security deposits at 1 month's rent (plus a pet deposit up to one quarter of a month's rent) and requires the deposit back within 14 days after move-out (Neb. Rev. Stat. 76-1416).

This template walks you through every clause a Nebraska lease should cover: parties, property, rent and due date, security deposit, maintenance, and house rules. Download the finished lease in Word and PDF.
