The notices and their periods
- 7-Day Notice to Pay or Quit — for nonpayment (Neb. Rev. Stat. § 76-1431(2)) — seven days to pay the full balance or move out.
- 14-Day Cure / 30-Day Termination — for a material lease violation (§ 76-1431(1)) — the tenant has 14 days to cure; if not, the tenancy terminates on a date at least 30 days after the notice. A repeat of the same violation within six months can be ended on a 14-day notice.
- 5-Day No-Cure Notice — for violent criminal activity, a controlled-substance sale, or a threat to health and safety (§ 76-1431(4)) — five days, with no opportunity to cure.
Ending a tenancy and serving notice
To end a month-to-month tenancy without cause, give 30 days' written notice (Neb. Rev. Stat. § 76-1437); a week-to-week tenancy requires 7 days.
After the notice period, the landlord files a complaint for restitution of premises in county court. Nebraska has no statewide just-cause requirement and bars self-help eviction.
Three different clocks
Nebraska runs three notice periods: 7 days for nonpayment, a 14-day cure inside a 30-day termination for ordinary lease violations, and a fast 5-day no-cure notice for violent or drug-related activity. Matching the conduct to the right clock is where landlords most often slip.

WriteMyNotice.com is a self-help document preparation service, not a law firm, and this page is general information, not legal advice. Eviction rules are strict and vary by state, county, and city — many cities add rent-control or just-cause requirements on top of state law, and an improper or mistimed notice can get an eviction case delayed or dismissed. Verify the current requirements for your property's location and, for contested or high-stakes evictions, consult a landlord-tenant attorney. Statute references verified June 2026.
