Bill Summary
A BILL FOR AN ACT relating to landlords and tenants; to amend sections 76-1413, 76-1450, 76-1457, and 76-1474, Reissue Revised Statutes of Nebraska, and section 76-1410, Revised Statutes Cumulative Supplement, 2024; to provide for electronic delivery of notices and documents under the Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act and the Mobile Home Landlord and Tenant Act; to define terms; to harmonize provisions; and to repeal the original sections.
AI Summary
This bill provides a comprehensive framework for electronic delivery of notices and documents between landlords and tenants in residential and mobile home rental agreements in Nebraska. The legislation expands the definition of "writing" or "written" to include electronic communications and establishes detailed requirements for electronic delivery of notices. Under the new provisions, electronic delivery is permissible only when the tenant has affirmatively consented, been fully informed of their rights, and demonstrated the ability to access electronic communications. Landlords cannot require electronic delivery as a condition of a rental agreement, and tenants have the right to withdraw consent at any time. The bill specifies that electronic delivery must be equivalent to traditional mail delivery methods and provides guidelines for verification of receipt, handling undeliverable communications, and protecting tenants' rights. Additionally, the electronic delivery provisions apply to both the Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act and the Mobile Home Landlord and Tenant Act, ensuring consistent treatment across different types of rental agreements. The legislation also ensures compliance with existing electronic transaction laws and provides transitional provisions for existing consent arrangements.
