Housing Laws

Laws current as of October 22, 2025

Who is protected by this housing law?

In general, a landlord may have the right to evict someone if they:

  • commit certain crimes;
  • endanger other people; or
  • damage or threaten to damage the property itself.1

This is true whether the abuser is a tenant, an occupant, or just someone who’s on the property with the tenant’s permission. However, you may be protected from eviction if the abuser is not a member of your household and you take certain steps to protect yourself.1

If the abuser is also a tenant or member of your household, see Removing an abuser from a shared home.

1 Neb. Rev. Stat. § 76-1431(4)
