Bellevue, Neb., Code of Ordinances ch. 15 (2026) § 15-67
SAME—ARRANGEMENT OF SLEEPING, BATH AND TOILET ROOMS
Operative Text
No dwelling or dwelling unit containing two or more sleeping rooms shall have such room arrangements that access to a bathroom or toilet room intended by use by occupants of more than one sleeping room can be had only by going through another sleeping room; nor shall room arrangements be such that access to sleeping room can be had only by going through another sleeping room or a bathroom or toilet room. (1964 Code, § 12A-19)
Under Bellevue, Neb., Code of Ordinances ch. 15, art. III § 15-67, any dwelling or dwelling unit with two or more sleeping rooms must be arranged so that shared bathrooms or toilet rooms are accessible without passing through another sleeping room. Likewise, each sleeping room must be reachable without requiring passage through another sleeping room or through a bathroom or toilet room. This rule establishes minimum layout standards intended to protect the privacy and habitability of residential spaces.

Bellevue, Neb., Code of Ordinances ch. 15, art. III § 15-67 sets clear room-arrangement requirements that compliant operators account for when designing, renovating, or renting multi-sleeping-room dwellings. A property manager generally ensures that shared bathrooms and toilet rooms have direct corridor or common-area access rather than access routed through any sleeping room. Similarly, each sleeping room in a compliant unit is accessible from a common area, hallway, or living space—not solely through another sleeping room or a bathroom.

Bellevue, Neb., Code of Ordinances ch. 15, art. III § 15-67 gives occupants of multi-sleeping-room dwellings the right to bathroom access and bedroom access that does not require passing through another occupant's sleeping space. If a unit's layout appears to violate this arrangement standard, tenants may consider documenting the floor plan and raising the issue with Bellevue's local code enforcement or housing inspection office. Tenant-rights organizations in Nebraska can also help residents understand what options may be available when a dwelling does not meet these habitability standards.
