3 rules for unincorporated Sarpy County, Nebraska.
Verified from official government sources
Nebraska has no rent control, and neither Sarpy County nor Bellevue, Papillion, La Vista, or Gretna may create it. As a Dillon's Rule state, Nebraska never delegated rent-regulation power to its cities. Landlords set and raise rent at market.
Neb. Rev. Stat. §76-1416
A landlord may not demand or receive security, however denominated, in an amount or value in excess of one month's periodic rent, except that a pet deposit not in excess of one-fourth of one month's periodic rent may be demanded or received when appropriate, but this subsection shall not be applicable to housing agencies organized or existing under the Nebraska Housing Agency Act.
Nebraska requires no just cause to end a tenancy. Under the Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act, a landlord may end a month-to-month tenancy with thirty days' written notice for any reason, and no Sarpy County city adds a just-cause rule.
Neb. Rev. Stat. §76-1431
If rent is unpaid when due and the tenant fails to pay rent within seven calendar days after written notice by the landlord of nonpayment and his or her intention to terminate the rental agreement if the rent is not paid within that period of time, the landlord may terminate the rental agreement.
Nebraska has no statewide rental license, so registration in Sarpy County is a city-by-city matter. La Vista runs a mandatory rental inspection program; Bellevue and Papillion do not register rentals and rely on complaint-based code enforcement instead.
