A Nebraska sublease agreement is a contract between the tenant of a rental property (“sublessor”) and a person who wants to rent part or all of that property from the tenant (known as a “subtenant”).
Nebraska law is vague about subleasing, so it’s recommended that the tenant and subtenant enter into a written agreement to establish their rights and duties.
The tenant should also get their landlord’s permission before subletting. A sublessor should honor the terms of the sublease agreement and the original lease and follow all Nebraska laws regarding the eviction process, security deposits, and other landlord-tenant matters.
