Neb. Rev. Stat. § 20-301 et seq. § 20-329
Conciliation agreement; breach; civil action authorized.
Operative Text
Whenever the commission has reasonable cause to believe that a respondent has breached a conciliation agreement, the commission shall refer the matter to the Attorney General for filing of a civil action under section 20-343 for the enforcement of such agreement.
Nebraska Revised Statute § 20-329 establishes a mechanism for enforcing conciliation agreements reached through the state's fair housing process. When the Nebraska Equal Opportunity Commission has reasonable cause to believe that a party bound by such an agreement has violated its terms, the Commission is required to refer the matter to the Attorney General. The Attorney General may then pursue a civil action in court under § 20-343 to compel compliance with the agreement.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Neb. Rev. Stat. § 20-329, a conciliation agreement reached with the Nebraska Equal Opportunity Commission is a legally binding commitment, not a voluntary guideline. Property owners and managers who have entered into such agreements generally maintain careful records of every obligation the agreement imposes and take documented steps to fulfill each term on schedule. A perceived breach can trigger a mandatory referral to the Attorney General and subsequent civil litigation under § 20-343.

Neb. Rev. Stat. § 20-329 provides a meaningful enforcement backstop for tenants who have secured a conciliation agreement through the Nebraska Equal Opportunity Commission. If a landlord fails to honor the terms of that agreement, the Commission is required to refer the matter to the Attorney General, who can file a civil action under § 20-343 to enforce it. Tenants who believe an agreement has been breached may consider contacting the Nebraska Equal Opportunity Commission directly or reaching out to a tenant-rights organization to understand available options.
