"Senators, LB 235 is designed to prevent a landlord from reclaiming their property in a timely manner after an eviction proceeding. The law currently states the landlord should be given back the right to possess their property within 10 days of an eviction ruling. No landlord wants to evict a tenant. They’re our customers and we want them to stay our customers. An eviction is an expensive and painful procedure for all involved. Right now a landlord is inclined to work with a tenant and give them some time so they can get caught up. With this legislative bill automatically and arbitrarily delaying the time a landlord can reclaim their property landlords will realize it will be much longer before they can start getting the property ready for the next tenant and will be less likely to give the current tenant extra time to get the unpaid rent caught up. They will start the eviction process earlier in the month than now occurs so the grace period they give the tenant will disappear. Do you really want to incentivize landlords to start the eviction process much more quickly? The result of this bill is that it hurts both landlords and tenants instead of helping them. Senators, I urge you to reject LB 235. Thank you."

Why would Nebraska support harming owners of property from reclaiming access and possession of a property that someone has been ruled to be evicted from? Why would individuals who are evicted, for non-payment most of the time, or for some other breach of law or community rules be provided additional time to exit a unit? This harms the individual trying to be a law abiding citizen in favor of one that is not paying for the service or residence provided. This is 100% backwards for wanting affordable housing rental units for people to live in. This 100% discourages investors in the Nebraska market.
