Nebraska's Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act sets no statutory advance-notice period or cap for rent increases on ordinary apartments and houses. A landlord raises rent on a month-to-month tenant by giving the 30-day termination/modification notice under Neb. Rev. Stat. 76-1437.
The URLTA (Neb. Rev. Stat. 76-1401 to 76-1449) contains no provision requiring advance notice of, or limiting the amount of, a rent increase for standard residential rentals. Because a periodic tenancy can only be changed by ending the current term, a landlord effectively must give 30 days' written notice under Neb. Rev. Stat. 76-1437 to raise rent on a month-to-month tenant; a fixed-term lease cannot be raised mid-term. Note the separate Mobile Home Landlord and Tenant Act (Neb. Rev. Stat. 76-1490) does require 60 days' written notice, but that statute applies only to mobile home lots, not conventional dwellings.
No specific statutory penalty. An increase imposed without the required 30-day month-to-month notice is simply not effective until proper notice runs.
