Operative Text
If a landlord unlawfully removes or excludes a tenant from a mobile home park or willfully diminishes services to a tenant by interrupting or causing the interruption of electric, gas, water, or other essential service to the tenant, the tenant may recover possession, require the restoration of essential services, or terminate the rental agreement and, in any case, recover an amount not to exceed one and one-half months' periodic rent as liquidated damages and reasonable attorney's fees. If the rental agreement is terminated, the landlord shall return any prepaid rent and any rental deposit recoverable by the tenant under section 76-1485 .
Under Neb. Rev. Stat. § 76-1450 et seq. § 76-14,100, Nebraska law addresses situations where a landlord unlawfully locks out a mobile home park tenant or deliberately cuts off essential utilities such as electricity, gas, or water. When such conduct occurs, the affected tenant has several potential remedies available, including reclaiming possession of the space, having essential services restored, or ending the rental agreement altogether. In any of these scenarios, the tenant may also seek liquidated damages capped at one and one-half months' periodic rent, plus reasonable attorney's fees, and is entitled to the return of prepaid rent and recoverable deposits if the agreement is terminated.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Neb. Rev. Stat. § 76-1450 et seq. § 76-14,100 makes clear that mobile home park operators who unlawfully remove or exclude a tenant, or who deliberately interrupt essential utility services, expose themselves to significant financial liability. Compliant operators maintain continuous access to the premises and ensure that electric, gas, water, and other essential services remain uninterrupted throughout the tenancy. When a rental agreement is properly terminated, operators generally ensure that all prepaid rent and eligible security deposits are promptly returned to avoid additional exposure under this provision.
