Just cause eviction rules in Sarpy County, NE — sometimes called tenant protection or "for cause" eviction ordinances — list the specific legal reasons a landlord can end a tenancy.
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.
Nebraska gives tenants no just-cause eviction protection, and Sarpy County's cities have added none. Under the ULTA a landlord ends a month-to-month tenancy by giving thirty days' written notice before the next rent date (§76-1437); no reason is required. For nonpayment, §76-1431 lets the landlord terminate if rent stays unpaid seven calendar days after written notice. Self-help — changing locks, shutting off utilities, removing belongings — is illegal, and the tenant may recover damages. Bellevue's proximity to Offutt Air Force Base makes one federal rule matter locally: the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act lets an active-duty tenant break a lease early on qualifying deployment or permanent-change-of-station orders.
An improper or too-short notice gets an eviction case dismissed. A self-help lockout or utility shutoff exposes the landlord to the tenant's actual damages plus possible statutory penalties under the ULTA.
