What must a Nebraska landlord disclose to a tenant, and what must the lease say?

Verified September 13, 2026 All Nebraska topics →

A Nebraska landlord owes a tenant exactly one disclosure: the name and address of the manager and of an owner or the owner's agent for service, in writing, at or before the tenancy begins, kept current and binding on any successor.

Cited to Neb. Rev. Stat. § 76-1417 (disclosure of the manager and owner) (1)–(3) and 19 more cited sources · Verified September 13, 2026

No telephone number is required, and a landlord who does not comply becomes an agent of each person who is a landlord — liable to perform the landlord's obligations out of the rent collected, with a non-disclosing manager treated as a landlord for every purpose of the act. Nebraska requires no written lease, no copy of the lease, no move-in condition report, no tenant-rights statement and no flood, lead, mold, bed-bug, radon or asbestos disclosure. Its methamphetamine law works the other way round: the owner of a property contaminated by a clandestine drug lab may not let anyone live in it until it has been rehabilitated and released, on pain of a civil penalty of up to $1,000. Four kinds of lease clause are prohibited, including any promise that the tenant will pay either side's attorney's fees, and a landlord who deliberately uses a lease containing one owes the tenant actual damages and fees. Local governments may not impose rent control, but nothing stops a city adopting its own disclosure rules.

Nebraska lease disclosures at a glance

Which law governs Nebraska's Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act, sections 76-1401 to 76-1449, is the whole of the residential regime, and it is a spare one: its only disclosure duty is the owner and manager identity section, 76-1417, captioned simply Disclosure. The prohibited-clause roster is section 76-1415, unconscionability is section 76-1412, and the delivery machinery for every notice and document under the act is section 76-1413, rewritten in 2025 to carry a full electronic-delivery regime. Three bodies outside the act matter here. Sections 71-2432 to 71-2435 govern property contaminated by a clandestine drug lab and bar its occupancy until it is rehabilitated and released. Section 76-2,120 is the seller's property-condition disclosure statement, which reaches a sale and a lease with an option to purchase and nothing else in the leasing world. Section 13-331, in force since September 3, 2025, bars local rent-control ordinances. Manufactured-home lot tenancies have their own act. The statute of frauds is section 36-105, and electronic transactions are governed by sections 86-612 to 86-643.
Who is covered Statewide, for the tenancies the act governs. Eight arrangements sit outside it, in each case unless the arrangement was created to avoid the act: residence at an institution, public or private, incidental to detention or to medical, geriatric, educational, counseling, religious or similar service; occupancy under a contract of sale of a dwelling unit or the property it is part of, where the occupant is the purchaser or a person who succeeds to the purchaser's interest; occupancy by a member of a fraternal or social organization in the organization's building; transient occupancy in a hotel, motel or lodgings; occupancy by an employee of a landlord whose right to stay is conditional on employment in and about the premises; occupancy by an owner of a condominium unit or a holder of a proprietary lease in a cooperative; occupancy under a rental agreement covering premises used by the occupant primarily in connection with business, commercial or agricultural purposes; and a lease of improved or unimproved residential land for a term of five years or more. The contaminated-property occupancy bar sits outside the act and is not limited by those exclusions.
Written lease, copy and signature rules

No statute requires a residential lease to be in writing beyond the statute of frauds, so an oral tenancy is lawful. No statute requires the landlord to give the tenant a copy of the lease.

No Nebraska statute requires a residential lease to be in writing, and none requires the landlord to give the tenant a copy of one; there is no copy deadline, no translation duty, no plain-language act and no type-size rule anywhere in the act's 54 sections. Only a lease for longer than a year must be written and signed to be enforceable, and the signature the statute of frauds asks for is the lessor's. Nebraska did not adopt the uniform provision that gives an unsigned agreement effect once rent is accepted, so there is no cure of that kind in the act. The act's lease-terms section is permissive: the landlord and tenant may include terms and conditions not prohibited by the act or by other law, and the act then supplies defaults — fair rental value where none is agreed, rent payable without demand or notice and, unless otherwise agreed, payable at the dwelling unit, and a month-to-month tenancy where the agreement fixes no definite term, or week to week for a roomer who pays weekly.

Statute of frauds: Every contract for the leasing for a longer period than one year, or for the sale of any lands, is void unless the contract or some note or memorandum of it is in writing and signed by the party by whom the lease or sale is to be made (section 36-105). The signature requirement runs against the lessor only, as the section's own annotations confirm.

Electronic leases and signatures: Two layers apply. Nebraska's Uniform Electronic Transactions Act reaches electronic records and signatures relating to a transaction, excludes only wills, codicils, testamentary trusts and most of the commercial code, and works only between parties who have each agreed to deal electronically — an agreement read from the context and conduct, and a party who agrees may still refuse to do other transactions electronically, a right that cannot be waived by agreement. On top of it sits the landlord-tenant act's own electronic-delivery section, rewritten in 2025: a writing under the act now includes a document provided by electronic means in accordance with that section, electronic delivery done properly counts as equivalent to first-class, registered or certified mail, and where proof of receipt is required the electronic method must provide verification or acknowledgment of receipt.
Owner and agent identity

Yes — a statute requires the landlord to disclose the owner's or managing agent's identity to the tenant, in the lease or in a separate writing.

This is the only disclosure duty in the Nebraska act, and the section is captioned Disclosure without qualification. The landlord, or anyone authorized to make a rental agreement on the landlord's behalf, must disclose to the tenant in writing, at or before the tenancy begins, the name and address of the person authorized to manage the premises, and the name and address of an owner of the premises or of a person authorized to act for the owner for service of process and for receiving and receipting for notices and demands. Name and address only — no telephone number. The information must be kept current, and the duty reaches and is enforceable against any successor landlord, owner or manager. There is no threshold, no prescribed form, no placement rule and no posting alternative; since 2025 the writing may be an electronic document where the tenant has consented to electronic delivery. The consequence is doubled. A person who does not comply becomes an agent of each person who is a landlord, both for service of process and notices and for performing the landlord's obligations under the act and the rental agreement, spending or making available for that purpose all the rent collected from the premises. And the act's definitions make a manager of the premises who fails to disclose a landlord for every purpose of the act, not merely an agent for service. Nebraska has no landlord or rental registration statute, statewide or local. On a sale, written notice to the tenant is not a duty but a condition: a landlord who conveys in good faith to a bona fide purchaser is relieved of liability only as to events after written notice of the conveyance, and assigning the deposit to the purchaser with written notice to the tenant is what releases the old landlord from the deposit duties.
Required statements and lease text

No.

Nebraska prescribes no statement of tenant rights, no summary of the act, no agency form, no model lease and no notice telling the tenant where the act can be read, and no Nebraska agency is directed to publish anything of the kind for residential tenancies. Nor is there a list of subjects a lease must cover. The act's lease-content rules are all prohibitions or conditions of validity: the four prohibited tenant promises; the bar on requiring the tenant to accept electronic delivery; and the rule that a tenant may take on the landlord's rubbish, water or heat duties only in a single-family residence, by a good-faith writing for good consideration, while in any other dwelling unit an agreement that the tenant do specified repairs, maintenance, alterations or remodeling is valid only if it is in good faith, set out in a separate writing signed by both parties, supported by adequate consideration, and does not affect what the landlord owes other tenants. A landlord's own house rules are not a delivery duty in Nebraska either: notice of a rule at the time the tenant enters the agreement is a condition of the rule being enforceable, not an obligation to hand anything over, and a rule adopted later is enforceable only on reasonable notice and only if it does not work a substantial modification of the tenant's bargain. The one statement with contents fixed by statute is the pre-consent statement for electronic delivery, listed here because its contents are prescribed and because it is owed only when the landlord proposes that route.

Listed, but not a general duty counted above:

Statement before a tenant consents to electronic delivery — a disclosure the statute prescribes only when the tenant consents to something. Before a landlord may deliver notices and documents under the act by electronic means, the tenant must consent, and before the consent the landlord must give the tenant a clear and conspicuous statement covering four things: that the tenant may withdraw consent without condition or consequence; which transactions and kinds of document the consent covers; that the tenant has a right to a paper copy by mail and how to get one; and the procedure for withdrawing consent and for updating the tenant's electronic address. A separate statement must set out the hardware and software needed to see and keep the documents, and a fresh statement is owed if those requirements change materially. The tenant must consent electronically, or confirm consent electronically, in a way that reasonably shows the tenant can open documents in that form. A landlord may not require a tenant to accept electronic delivery, and may not make it a condition of entering into or renewing a lease. The statement is owed only because the landlord chooses to propose electronic delivery and the tenant is asked to consent, so it is not a general statement of tenant rights. Given before signing and when the information changes. Typography: A clear and conspicuous statement. (§ 76-1413(7)(b)–(c), (9), (12), (14)) Not counted as a general duty.
Move-in condition report

No.

Nebraska has no move-in condition statement, checklist or inventory duty at any point, and the deposit section does not imply one. The act's only condition-related writing runs at the end of the tenancy: on termination, prepaid rent and security may be applied to rent and to damage from the tenant's non-compliance, and the balance with a written itemization must be delivered or mailed to the tenant within fourteen days of the date the tenancy ends. The sanctions for getting that wrong run against the landlord, not the tenant — the tenant recovers the property and money due, court costs and reasonable attorney's fees, and where the failure is willful and not in good faith, liquidated damages of one month's periodic rent or twice the deposit, whichever is less. So the common claim that a landlord may keep a deposit for damage because there was no move-in inspection has nothing behind it in Nebraska.
Hazard disclosures

No in-force state hazard disclosure duty applies at signing beyond the federal lead-paint rule. Also on the books: methamphetamine — the state bars renting the affected property instead of requiring disclosure; no state duty exists for lead, mold, bed bugs, radon, asbestos, or any other hazard.

Every state duty and every stated absence, hazard by hazard:

Lead (state add-on to the federal rule) — no state duty. Nebraska adds nothing of its own to the federal lead rules for landlords: no state pamphlet, no state form, no registration, no certificate and no re-disclosure on renewal. Nebraska's lead statutes are a licensing scheme for the people who do the work — the Residential Lead-Based Paint Professions Practice Act, which defines the trades, licenses firms and individuals for lead abatement projects, approves training and sets penalties. None of it places a duty on a landlord toward a tenant.

Mold — no state duty. Nebraska has no mold disclosure, no mold standard and no mold booklet. The word appears in only six places in the statutes, none about indoor air or a tenancy: school building health and safety, a sales-tax provision, an insurance section and two agricultural sections. Mold in a rental is a repair question under the landlord's duty to keep the premises fit and habitable.

Bed bugs — no state duty. Nebraska has no bed-bug law at all. The phrase does not appear anywhere in the statutes, and there is no infestation disclosure, no notice to a neighboring unit and no rule about who pays for treatment. An infestation is a habitability and pest-control question.

Radon — no state duty. Nebraska has a radon statute, but it is a building rule rather than a disclosure. The Radon Resistant New Construction Act sets minimum construction standards for new buildings, says when they are not required, gives a right to convert a passive mitigation system to an active one, and makes the state health department compile radon measurements each year and identify the counties whose average concentration exceeds two and seven-tenths picocuries per liter of air. The word landlord does not appear in it, and nothing requires a landlord to tell a tenant anything about radon. The state's other radon provisions license radon professionals and control radiation generally.

Methamphetamine — the state bars renting the affected property instead of requiring disclosure (a statute). Nebraska does not require a landlord to disclose that a property was contaminated by a methamphetamine lab. It does something stronger: the owner of contaminated property may not permit anyone to live in it or use it until the rehabilitation has been completed and the property has been released, and an owner who knowingly breaks that rule faces a civil penalty of up to $1,000. An owner who knows of a clandestine drug lab on the property must report it as soon as practicable to local law enforcement or to the State Patrol, which passes the report to the state health department, the environmental agency, the municipality or county, the local public health director and the owner. The local public health department monitors the rehabilitation against standards the state health department sets, may charge the owner monitoring fees, and must release the property for habitation or use in a timely manner once the work is done. Separately, an owner of leased property containing a clandestine drug lab may end the lease on three days' written notice in order to carry out the rehabilitation. Comparison tables that key on the presence of a disclosure statute put Nebraska in the empty column; it belongs in the prohibition column instead. Knowledge standard: A property owner with knowledge of a clandestine drug lab on the owner's property must report it as soon as practicable to the local law enforcement agency or the State Patrol. Threshold: Contaminated property means an enclosed area of any property, or part of one, intended for human habitation or use that has been contaminated by chemicals, chemical residue, methamphetamine, methamphetamine residue or other substances from a clandestine drug lab. If the property is rented in breach of the bar: An owner who knowingly permits habitation or use before the property has been rehabilitated and released may be subject to a civil penalty of up to $1,000, enforced by the state health department. The owner's duty to report a known clandestine drug lab to law enforcement carries no stated penalty of its own.

Asbestos — no state duty. No Nebraska landlord must disclose asbestos to a tenant. Nebraska's asbestos law is the Asbestos Control Act, which defines the trades, licenses business entities and individuals, approves training courses, sets duties for project designers and monitors, requires records and provides penalties; the rest of the state's asbestos provisions are product-liability and successor-liability rules and a schools section.

Carbon monoxide alarms, pesticide, ordnance and pool notices — no state duty. Nebraska requires no pesticide-application notice, no military-ordnance or noise-zone notice, no pool-safety notice and no smoking-policy disclosure to a tenant. Carbon monoxide alarms are worth naming because they are often mistaken for a lease duty: the alarm must be installed by the seller of a unit in an existing multifamily dwelling when it is offered for sale or transfer, and by the owner when the owner does interior alteration, repair, fuel-fired appliance replacement or addition for which a permit is required, in each case where the unit has a fuel-fired heater or appliance, a fireplace or an attached garage. Letting the unit triggers nothing, and no notice is owed to a tenant; disabling an alarm is barred. Alarms are on the habitability page.
Flood disclosure

No.

Nebraska requires no flood disclosure to a tenant — the word flood does not appear anywhere in the landlord-tenant act, and the state's flood provisions are drainage and reclamation districts, natural resources districts, county and municipal zoning and bonding powers, and vehicle and boat title branding. The sales side does not reach a tenancy either, and flood is not even on its list: the seller of residential real property, meaning property used primarily for residential purposes with no fewer than one and no more than four dwelling units, must give the purchaser a written statement of the property's condition on or before the effective date of any contract binding the purchaser, and the purchaser must acknowledge receipt in writing. That duty reaches a sale, a sale of improvements coupled with a ground lease, and a lease with an option to purchase, and no other letting. Its contents are appliances, the electrical, heating and cooling, water and sewer systems, defects materially affecting value, any hazardous conditions that may be an environmental hazard, title conditions, utility connections, private transfer-fee obligations and carbon monoxide alarm compliance. Twelve transfers are exempt, a purchaser who is not given the statement may sue for actual damages, court costs and reasonable attorney's fees within one year, and a transfer is not invalidated just because someone failed to comply.
Disclosures about the property's situation No statutory disclosure of this kind
What need not be disclosed None — no statute says a fact about the property need not or may not be disclosed in a rental, or bars a claim over its non-disclosure.
Utility, fee and payment disclosures No statutory disclosure of this kind
Lease clauses that are void or prohibited

Yes — the statute lists the lease provisions that are void or prohibited.

The roster is four items in one section, with two more prohibitions sitting elsewhere in the act, so it is partly spread out. Read its direction carefully: every item bars a provision that the tenant agrees to something, so it reaches terms imposed on the tenant rather than either party's clauses. The exculpation item is also narrower than the same clause in most states that use this uniform act — it reaches only liability arising due to the landlord's active and actionable negligence. Two further terms fail by other sections: a term requiring the tenant to accept electronic delivery, and any lien or security interest in the tenant's household goods, which the statute simply makes unenforceable while abolishing distraint for rent. The act's unconscionability section is the backstop, and it judges the agreement or the provision as of when it was made.

Using a prohibited clause carries a statutory sanction; the statute's own measure follows.

Sanction as the statute states it: A prohibited provision included in a rental agreement is unenforceable. If a landlord deliberately uses a rental agreement containing provisions known by the landlord to be prohibited, the tenant may recover actual damages sustained plus reasonable attorney's fees. Two elements are needed — deliberate use and knowledge that the provision is prohibited — but no attempt to enforce the clause is required. There is no multiple-of-rent figure and no cure window, and the remedy runs one way, to the tenant.

The listed provisions:

• A provision that the tenant agrees to waive or forego rights or remedies under the Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act (section 76-1415, subsection 1, paragraph a).

• A provision authorizing any person to confess judgment on a claim arising out of the rental agreement (section 76-1415, subsection 1, paragraph b).

• A provision that the tenant agrees to pay the landlord's or the tenant's attorney's fees (section 76-1415, subsection 1, paragraph c).

• A provision that the tenant agrees to the exculpation or limitation of any liability of the landlord arising due to the landlord's active and actionable negligence, or to indemnify the landlord for that liability or its related costs (section 76-1415, subsection 1, paragraph d).

• A term requiring the tenant to accept delivery by electronic means, whether as part of the rental agreement or as a condition of entering into or renewing one (section 76-1413, subsection 9).

• A lien or security interest in the tenant's household goods on the landlord's behalf, which the statute makes unenforceable; distraint for rent is abolished (section 76-1434).
Attorney-fee clauses

A lease clause making a party pay the landlord's attorney fees is void.

A Nebraska rental agreement may not provide that the tenant agrees to pay the landlord's or the tenant's attorney's fees, so a fee-shifting clause cannot be imposed on the tenant in either direction and there is nothing for a reciprocity rule to convert. A term obliging the landlord to pay the tenant's fees is not what the section reaches. Nebraska has no general prevailing-party fee statute for residential tenancies; instead the act grants fees violation by violation, and each grant runs to the party that was wronged — to the tenant for deliberate use of a prohibited clause, for a deposit not returned and itemized, for a willful landlord failure to comply, for a failure to deliver possession, for an interruption of essential services and for an unlawful ouster; to the landlord where a tenant's defense is meritless and in bad faith, for a willful tenant failure to comply and for a holdover; and either way for abuse of the right of access. Deliberate use of a prohibited clause also exposes the landlord to the tenant's actual damages and fees.
When, how, and what happens on a failure Nebraska has one disclosure and a great deal of delivery machinery. The identity disclosure is owed in writing at or before the tenancy begins, must be kept current, and binds any successor landlord, owner or manager; no acknowledgment is required, and the sanction is that a landlord who does not comply is fixed with agency for service and for performing the landlord's own obligations out of the rent collected, while a non-disclosing manager becomes a landlord for every purpose of the act. Everything else turns on events. The deposit balance and a written itemization must reach the tenant within fourteen days of termination, by first-class mail to the last-known address if the tenant left none, with the tenant recovering money due, costs and fees for a failure and liquidated damages of one month's rent or twice the deposit, whichever is less, where the failure is willful and not in good faith. Written notice of a conveyance or of a change of manager is not a duty but the condition of the outgoing party's release. Where a tenant has named an authorized person at the landlord's request, the landlord must try to contact that person within ten days of the tenant's death, with twenty days to claim and twenty more to remove the property. Delivery itself was rewritten in 2025: a notice may be delivered in hand, mailed to the place held out for receipt, or delivered by electronic means, which includes a consented email address and posting to an electronic site with separate notice of the posting; done properly it counts as equivalent to first-class, registered or certified mail, and where proof of receipt is required the method must provide verification or acknowledgment. But electronic delivery needs the tenant's informed, electronically confirmed consent, the landlord may not require it, and where receipt is not verified the notice must be sent again by mail — if two electronic messages bounce within thirty days, everything must go by mail until the tenant confirms again. Contaminated property is the outlier: the bar on letting anyone live in a property from a clandestine drug lab until it is rehabilitated and released carries a civil penalty of up to $1,000 enforced by the state health department, while the owner's duty to report a known lab to law enforcement states no penalty. No agency enforces any Nebraska landlord-tenant disclosure duty, there is no unfair-trade-practice hook, and nothing bars an eviction for a disclosure failure.
Can cities add their own rules Nebraska says nothing either way about local lease-disclosure or lease-content ordinances. The landlord-tenant act contains no preemption clause and no local-option clause, and its only construction provision says the act is not impliedly repealed by later legislation where that reading can reasonably be avoided; a statewide reading of the preemption provisions in the statutes turns up nothing touching landlord-tenant law. Rental registration and landlord licensing are likewise unaddressed by state law, in either direction. One adjacent preemption does exist and is worth stating so it is not read too widely: since September 3, 2025 a local government — a city, village or county, or an agency or subdivision of one — has had no power to enact or enforce any ordinance, resolution, rule or regulation that would have the effect of imposing rent controls on private property, notwithstanding any home rule charter, and an ordinance that does is void. Two things are carved out: an ordinance adopted to increase the supply of affordable housing through land-use or inclusionary housing requirements, and a program a private owner voluntarily and contractually agrees to join that restricts rent and rent increases. That is a rent rule, not a disclosure rule. No Nebraska city's own lease packet is carried on this page.
How state law refers to the federal rules State law adds nothing to, and refers to nothing in, the federal rules, which are listed further down this page
Changes already signed into law No signed act is waiting beyond any not-yet-in-force duty already stated on this page
Leading court decisions Bedrosky v. Hiner, 230 Neb. 200, 430 N.W.2d 535 (Nebraska Supreme Court; 1988; arose from a commercial lease; bears on void or prohibited lease clauses): A commercial-lease decision, and it is listed here only for the boundary it draws. Upholding an exculpatory clause in a commercial lease, the court observed that the Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act applies only to residential leases and contains an express prohibition against exculpatory clauses and limitations on the landlord's liability, while no such statutory prohibition exists for commercial leases, because a residential tenant must be protected against unfair disparity in bargaining power while no such inequality exists in the business setting. It decides nothing about a residential clause; it confirms by contrast that the prohibited-clause roster is a residential rule.

Federal rules that apply in every state

The federal layer for the lease-disclosures topic, carried once for the whole site. Every row names who it binds: most federal lease attachments bind only a landlord who takes a voucher or holds HUD-assisted or HUD-insured property, and the one rule that binds every landlord (the lead-paint disclosure rule) is a floor that state law may add to. No state record restates these rows; a state record says only where its own law references or extends them. Each row below says who it binds before it says what it requires. The full text of each row, with its citations, is on the 50-state page.

Notes and caveats

Common questions: Nebraska lease disclosures

Each answer is the verified value from the table above, restated as a direct answer. Free to quote with a link to this page.

Does Nebraska require a landlord to give the tenant a written statement of tenant rights?
No. Nebraska prescribes no statement of tenant rights, no summary of the act, no agency form, no model lease and no notice telling the tenant where the act can be read, and no Nebraska agency is directed to publish anything of the kind for residential tenancies. Nor is there a list of subjects a lease must cover.
Does a Nebraska landlord have to disclose the owner's name and address?
Yes — a statute requires the landlord to disclose the owner's or managing agent's identity to the tenant, in the lease or in a separate writing. This is the only disclosure duty in the Nebraska act, and the section is captioned Disclosure without qualification.
Is a move-in inspection checklist required in Nebraska?
No. Nebraska has no move-in condition statement, checklist or inventory duty at any point, and the deposit section does not imply one. The act's only condition-related writing runs at the end of the tenancy: on termination, prepaid rent and security may be applied to rent and to damage from the tenant's non-compliance, and the balance with a written itemization must be delivered or mailed to the tenant within fourteen days of the date the tenancy ends.
What hazards must a Nebraska landlord disclose to a tenant?
No in-force state hazard disclosure duty applies at signing beyond the federal lead-paint rule. Also on the books: methamphetamine — the state bars renting the affected property instead of requiring disclosure; no state duty exists for lead, mold, bed bugs, radon, asbestos, or any other hazard.
Does Nebraska require flood disclosure to renters?
No. Nebraska requires no flood disclosure to a tenant — the word flood does not appear anywhere in the landlord-tenant act, and the state's flood provisions are drainage and reclamation districts, natural resources districts, county and municipal zoning and bonding powers, and vehicle and boat title branding. The sales side does not reach a tenancy either, and flood is not even on its list: the seller of residential real property, meaning property used primarily for residential purposes with no fewer than one and no more than four dwelling units, must give the purchaser a written statement of the property's condition on or before the effective date of any contract binding the purchaser, and the purchaser must acknowledge receipt in writing.
Does Nebraska void or prohibit specific lease clauses?
Yes — the statute lists the lease provisions that are void or prohibited. The roster is four items in one section, with two more prohibitions sitting elsewhere in the act, so it is partly spread out.

How this record was verified: Direct reading of the Nebraska Revised Statutes on the Legislature's own host, which serves each section with its catchline, its Source credit line, its effective-date line where a 2026 act changed it, and the official annotations and cross references. All 54 sections of the Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act — sections 76-1401 to 76-1449, including 76-1431.01 through 76-1431.04 and 76-1442.01 — were read one at a time, in all, using the chapter's own section-and-catchline index to enumerate them. The section pages carry no edition banner, so currency was read from the pages themselves: the mobile-home abandonment section's credit line carries a 2026 act and the page prints an effective date of July 18, 2026, so the served text is current through the 2026 session. Also read in full: section 36-105 (statute of frauds), section 76-2,120 (the seller's disclosure statement) with its definitions and scope, sections 71-2432 through 71-2435 (clandestine drug labs and contaminated property), sections 76-3501 to 76-3507 (radon resistant new construction), sections 76-604 and 76-605 (carbon monoxide alarms), section 13-331 (the rent-control preemption), sections 86-630 and 86-632 (electronic transactions) and section 76-2422. The Legislature's own code-wide keyword search was used as the statewide instrument, paged to exhaustion, with every hit that could carry a duty opened: radon 20 hits, mold 6, bed bug no matches at all, methamphetamine 23, lead-based paint 35, asbestos 33, flood 142 hits across 95 unique sections read over six result pages, sex offender 119, psychologically 2, stigmatized no matches, preempt 22, and landlord 134 unique sections of which 45 sit outside the act. On the enactment side, the Revisor of Statutes' 2026 cross-reference table, which maps each enacted bill section to the statute section it creates or amends, was read end to end, 1,284 lines: exactly one row touches any section family on this page, and it amends the Mobile Home Landlord and Tenant Act. The 2025 operative-dates report was read for the effective dates of the 2025 acts, and the enrolled slip law of the rent-control act was read in full to confirm it carries no effective-date clause. The Second Session of the 109th Legislature adjourned sine die on April 17, 2026 and the biennium ended with it. One decision was read in full from the official reporter text, Bedrosky v. Hiner, 230 Neb. 200, 430 N.W.2d 535 (1988); its subsequent history could not be checked for this page, and the value it supports is only the scope boundary of the prohibited-clause section. The Nebraska Administrative Code could not be read at all — see the administrative-code line in the named readings. Verified September 13, 2026.
