Just cause eviction rules in Papillion, NE — sometimes called tenant protection or "for cause" eviction ordinances — list the specific legal reasons a landlord can end a tenancy.
Nebraska's Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act fixes the statutory grounds and notice periods for residential evictions. Local governments cannot substitute their own just-cause framework where URLTA applies under Neb. Rev. Stat. 76-1431.
Neb. Rev. Stat. 76-1431 sets uniform notice and termination procedures for residential leases statewide. Material noncompliance affecting health or safety requires a 30-day notice with a 14-day cure right. Nonpayment of rent triggers a 7-day pay-or-quit notice. Repeat violations within six months allow a 14-day termination. Violent criminal activity or illegal drug sales on the premises permits a 5-day no-cure termination under section 76-1431(4). Because URLTA is intended as unified coverage of its subject matter, municipalities cannot impose conflicting cure periods or additional eviction restrictions on covered residential tenancies.
A landlord who attempts self-help eviction, locks out a tenant, or shuts off utilities faces tenant remedies under Neb. Rev. Stat. 76-1430, including actual damages, three months' rent, and attorney's fees.
