Douglas County follows Nebraska's Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act. No just-cause requirement — month-to-month tenancies may be terminated with 30 days' notice without stating a reason. For-cause evictions (non-payment, lease violation) follow faster statutory timelines.
Evictions in Douglas County proceed under the Nebraska URLTA (NRS §§76-1401 to 76-1449) and are filed in Douglas County Court.

For clear and present danger conduct (violence, drug activity), a 5-day notice to quit applies (NRS §76-1431(4)).
