A Nebraska standard residential lease agreement is a rental contract designed to establish all terms and conditions of a residential tenancy between a landlord and a tenant. These terms and conditions will include the amount of rent the tenant has to pay, the payment date, the length of the lease, termination options, utilities and services, security deposit amount, and the duties and responsibilities of both parties. Each property rental will vary depending on a number of factors, so the landlord may choose to add or subtract certain provisions of the lease agreement to fit the rental type. Once the contract is signed by the landlord and the tenant, it becomes a legally binding document.
