Prohibit political subdivisions from enacting certain ordinances relating to landlords

Nebraska's LB 809 prohibits cities and counties from passing local laws that would stop landlords from refusing to rent to tenants who receive housing assistance (like Section 8 vouchers) or impose rent control on private properties. The bill specifically bans local ordinances that restrict landlords based on tenants' income sources or set rent limits, except for two exceptions: programs designed to increase affordable housing supply through land-use rules or voluntary landlord agreements that limit rent increases. This law overrides any conflicting local home rule charters and declares any violating local ordinance invalid. It directly affects landlords, tenants using housing assistance, and local governments seeking to regulate rental markets.
