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.

Laws & Requirements

Sublease and Assignment Provision Laws: No.

Landlord-Tenant Laws: Article 14 of the Nebraska Revised Statutes

Security Deposit Obligations: A sublessor must return the security deposit within 14 days of the end of the sublease.

Notices: A sublessor must give a subtenant seven days’  written notice to pay rent or leave the property. They must also provide 30 days’ written notice if they intend to not renew the sublease and/or the original lease.

Permission to Sublet

Laws: Nebraska state law does not specifically address a tenant’s right to sublet a rental property.

Explicit Written Consent: The terms of the original lease agreement between the tenant and the landlord will dictate whether subleasing is allowed and under what conditions it can occur.

Landlord’s Right to Deny: Generally, leases require the landlord’s approval and consent for subleasing.

Tax Obligations

Tax Rate

Nebraska state law defines a short-term rental as a residential property rented for a fee for 30 days or less. [1] Both sales tax and lodging tax are imposed at the state level for short-term rentals, while additional taxes may be levied by counties and cities. However, counties are limited to a maximum local lodging tax rate of 4%. [2]

Nebraska Short-Term Rental Taxes:

  • 5.5% state sales tax [3]
  • 1% state lodging tax [4]
  • County taxes (varies by county)
  • City taxes (varies by city)
