Tenants' Rights

Discrimination

In Nebraska, it is illegal for landlords to discriminate based on a potential tenant’s status as a member of any of the following protective classes: race, color, religion, national origin, familial status, sex, or disability. This type of discrimination is against Federal law, State law, and, in some locations, city ordinance. If a tenant suspects discrimination by a landlord, the tenant should contact one of the following agencies to make a complaint and get the situation resolved:
