A Nebraska 30 Day Notice To Comply or Vacate demands correction of a lease violation that is “curable,” i.e., the tenant gets a chance to fix the situation rather than be evicted. A curable lease violation might include failure to maintain health and safety on the rental property, interfering with the quiet enjoyment of neighbors, or refusal to allow lawful entry by the landlord.

The tenant must take appropriate corrective action within fourteen (14) calendar days or else move out within thirty (30) calendar days.

note
A repeat of the same or similar lease violation within a six-month period makes the violation “incurable” and lets the landlord evict with a 14 Day Notice To Vacate.

A Nebraska 30 Day Notice To Vacate terminates a rental agreement, including a month-to-month or year-to-year lease as well as an expired lease or a situation with no written lease where the tenant pays rent monthly. The non-terminating party must receive notice at least thirty (30) calendar days before the date of termination.

How To Write an Eviction Notice in Nebraska

To help ensure the legal compliance of an eviction notice:

  1. Use the tenant’s full name and address
  2. Specify the lease violation as well as any balance due
  3. Specify the date of termination
  4. Print name and sign the notice, including the landlord’s address of record
  5. Note the date and method of notice delivery, along with printed name and signature

It is easy to lose an otherwise justified legal action because of improper notice. Check carefully to ensure enough time after notice is delivered, not when it’s sent.

How To Calculate Expiration Date in Nebraska

The “clock” for an eviction notice period starts “ticking” the day after the notice gets delivered (served). For example, to give at least 30 days of notice and begin court action as of June 30th, delivery of the eviction notice must be no later than May 31st. 

In most jurisdictions, if the last day of a notice period is a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, the notice period continues to run until the end of the next day that is not a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday. This is called the “next judicial day;” in other words, the next day a courthouse is open.

How To Serve an Eviction Notice in Nebraska

Nebraska landlords may deliver a written eviction notice by any method which results in actual notification of the tenant. In Nebraska, the following methods of notice have a presumption of legal validity:

  1. Hand delivery to the tenant
  2. Delivery by mail to the tenant’s address of record, or (if unknown) last place of residence

Notice is considered effective from when it comes to the other party’s attention, or reasonably should do so under the circumstances. Mailed notice extends the notice period by three (3) calendar days, to account for variable delivery times.
