Neb. Rev. Stat. § 25-21,219 et seq. § 25-21,229
Forcible entry and detainer; exceptions.
Operative Text
Exceptions to the opinion of the judge of the court, in cases under sections 25-21,219 to 25-21,235 , upon questions of law and evidence, may be taken by either party, whether tried by a jury or otherwise.
Nebraska Revised Statute § 25-21,229 preserves the right of either party in a forcible entry and detainer case to challenge the trial court's rulings on questions of law and evidence. This right to take exceptions applies regardless of whether the case was decided by a jury or by a judge alone. The provision ensures that appellate review remains available within the broader forcible entry and detainer framework established by sections 25-21,219 to 25-21,235.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Neb. Rev. Stat. § 25-21,229, property owners and managers involved in forcible entry and detainer proceedings should be aware that either side may formally object to and preserve legal or evidentiary rulings for potential appellate review. Compliant operators typically work with legal counsel to ensure that any objections to the court's rulings are properly noted on the record during proceedings. This applies whether the matter is heard by a jury or decided solely by a judge.

Neb. Rev. Stat. § 25-21,229 means that tenants facing forcible entry and detainer actions are not without recourse if they believe the court made an error on a question of law or evidence. The provision explicitly allows tenants, just as it allows landlords, to take exceptions to the judge's rulings and potentially pursue review at a higher court level. Tenants who believe errors occurred during their proceedings may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization or legal aid service to understand what options exist for challenging those rulings.
