LB 185 Legislature · 109th Legislature (2025-2026)

Provide for electronic delivery of notices and documents under the Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act and the Mobile Home Landlord and Tenant Act

This bill allows landlords and tenants to receive legal notices and documents electronically under Nebraska's Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act and Mobile Home Landlord and Tenant Act. It requires written consent for electronic delivery via email or secure online platforms, replacing older requirements for physical mail or hand-delivery. The change applies to all notices related to rent, lease terms, or legal actions between landlords and tenants. This modernizes communication methods while maintaining the same legal standards for notice validity.

MINOR
This bill was amended during the Enrollment and Review process to correct formatting and wording errors in the text. The changes include updating the bill title to reflect its focus on electronic notice delivery, fixing a specific line on page 4, and adjusting the introduction credit to reflect the current committee chair. These are primarily technical corrections rather than substantive policy changes.
TECHNICAL

Updated the bill title on page 1 to change 'electronic notices by landlords to tenants' to 'delivery of notices and documents' for clarity.

Corrected a phrase on page 4, line 21, changing 'Such person' to 'From' to fix a likely drafting error.

Changed the introduction credit from 'Introduced by Dover, 19' to 'Introduced by Guereca, 7, Chairman Enrollment and Review' to reflect the current legislative sponsor and committee leadership.
