Nebraska's URLTA provision (§76-1416) is one of the tightest cap-and-clock combinations in the plains — with a forfeiture rule doing the enforcement work.
How much can a landlord charge?
One month's rent — plus a pet deposit of up to one-quarter month's rent where appropriate. That's the entire ceiling, however the charges are labeled.
The 14-day clock
Within 14 days of the tenant's demand and designation of a mailing address, following termination and delivery of possession, the landlord must return the balance with a written itemized statement — unpaid rent and damage beyond ordinary wear and tear only. As in Oklahoma, the tenant's demand is the trigger: make it in writing, with the forwarding address, at key return.
The penalty
A landlord who fails to provide the statement and balance forfeits the right to withhold any portion, and wrongful withholding is recoverable with costs in county court.
Why Nebraska deposit disputes are documentation disputes
A firm cap and a fast clock leave one open question — the wear-and-tear line — and no statutory machinery to settle it. Proof settles it.
SealMove is proof. Every photo and video is cryptographically sealed the instant it's captured, independently timestamped, and locked with Face ID into a tamper-evident archive. At move-out, the walkthrough lines up room-by-room against the sealed baseline — and either party can send the other a report to review and acknowledge, no app required.
