Neb. Rev. Stat. § 76-1450 et seq. § 76-1461
Housing code, defined.
Operative Text
Housing code shall include any law, ordinance, or governmental regulation concerning fitness for habitation, or the construction, maintenance, operation, occupancy, use, or appearance of any mobile home park, mobile home space, or dwelling unit. Minimum housing code shall be limited to those laws, resolutions, ordinances, or regulations, or portions thereof, dealing specifically with health and minimum standards of fitness for habitation.
Neb. Rev. Stat. § 76-1450 et seq. § 76-1461 establishes what counts as a 'housing code' under Nebraska law: any law, ordinance, or government regulation that addresses whether a mobile home park, mobile home space, or dwelling unit is fit for habitation, or that governs its construction, maintenance, operation, occupancy, use, or appearance. The provision also carves out a narrower category called 'minimum housing code,' which covers only those rules specifically focused on health and basic habitability standards. This definitional framework shapes how other provisions in the Nebraska Mobile Home Landlord and Tenant Act are interpreted and applied.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers operating under Nebraska's mobile home and residential rental statutes should understand that Neb. Rev. Stat. § 76-1450 et seq. § 76-1461 broadly defines the regulatory landscape they must navigate, encompassing local ordinances, state regulations, and any governmental rule touching on construction, maintenance, occupancy, or appearance of a dwelling unit or mobile home space. Compliant operators generally stay current with both the broader 'housing code' requirements and the narrower 'minimum housing code' health and habitability standards that apply to their properties. Tracking which category a given rule falls into can matter when other provisions of the Act reference one term or the other.

Under Neb. Rev. Stat. § 76-1450 et seq. § 76-1461, tenants in Nebraska mobile home parks and other rental dwellings benefit from a broad set of protections, because 'housing code' is defined to include virtually any governmental rule about habitability, construction, maintenance, or use of their home or space. The narrower 'minimum housing code' definition specifically covers health and basic fitness-for-habitation standards, which can be relevant when asserting that a landlord has failed to meet baseline living conditions. Tenants who believe these standards are not being met may consider contacting their local code enforcement office, reaching out to a tenant-rights organization, or exploring whether a violation can be raised as a defense in a legal proceeding.
