This bill amends various sections of the Nebraska Revised Statutes to enhance the electronic delivery of notices and documents under the Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act and the Mobile Home Landlord and Tenant Act. It introduces a definition of "writing" or "written" to include electronic communications and establishes guidelines for electronic delivery methods that comply with the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. The bill requires consent from both tenants and landlords for electronic communications and ensures that electronic delivery is treated equally to traditional methods, such as mail. It also outlines procedures for instances where electronic communications fail and includes provisions for withdrawing consent for electronic delivery.

Furthermore, the bill modifies existing language to clarify terms related to landlord-tenant relationships and mandates that landlords cannot require tenants to accept electronic communication as a condition of the rental agreement. It specifies that if an electronic notice or document is not received, it must be sent via traditional means, such as first-class mail. The legislation aims to modernize communication methods in landlord-tenant interactions while ensuring that both parties are informed and protected, and it repeals certain sections of the Reissue Revised Statutes of Nebraska to reflect these updates.
