About this page

Nebraska rent late fee law

Nebraska's Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act and its Mobile Home Landlord and Tenant Act (sections 76-1401 to 76-14,111) contain no late fee provision, so neither limits a late rent fee or gives a grace period.

Read in full for this check: Nebraska Revised Statutes, chapter 76, sections 76-1401 to 76-1449 (Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act) and 76-1450 to 76-14,111 (Mobile Home Landlord and Tenant Act). Copy read on law.justia.com (not the state's official site) · checked .

Before you send the late rent notice: it is a reminder letter about overdue rent and a late charge, not an eviction notice. A notice to pay rent or quit is a separate document, and Nebraska has its own rules for it. Nothing on this page is legal advice.

What Nebraska law says about invoice interest

Unless otherwise agreed, interest shall be allowed at the rate of twelve percent per annum on money due on any instrument in writing, or on settlement of the account [...] Unless otherwise agreed or provided by law, each charge with respect to unsettled accounts between parties shall bear interest from the date of billing unless paid within thirty days from the date of billing.
— Neb. Rev. Stat. § 45-104. Read it at the official source · row verified 2026-08-19.

16% cap does not apply to entity borrowers OR business/agricultural-purpose loans, so ordinary B2B is effectively uncapped (dollar threshold is a separate, additional exemption).
