When The Landlord Can Come In
Neb. Rev. Stat. § 76-1423 — twenty-four hours' written notice, at reasonable times, and at once only in an emergency
Twenty-four hours, in writing. Except in an emergency or where it is impracticable, the landlord gives at least twenty-four hours' written notice of an intended entry, with its purpose and a reasonable window, and enters only at reasonable times.
The tenant may not unreasonably withhold consent to entry to inspect, repair or show the unit. The landlord may enter without consent in an emergency, and may not abuse the right of access to harass the tenant.
A month's rent at least. For an unlawful entry, an unreasonable one, or repeated demands that harass, the tenant may get an injunction or end the agreement, and recover actual damages of not less than one month's rent and attorney's fees.
A landlord whose lawful access is refused has remedies of its own. A particular entry is a question for a licensed Nebraska attorney.
