This legislative bill amends various sections of the Reissue Revised Statutes of Nebraska 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, which require consent from either the tenant or landlord. The bill emphasizes that consent can be withdrawn at any time without penalty and mandates that landlords must inform tenants of any changes in technology that could impact their ability to receive electronic communications.

Furthermore, the bill clarifies that electronic delivery is considered equivalent to traditional methods like first-class mail, provided that the electronic method allows for verification of receipt. It stipulates that if a notice requires acknowledgment of receipt, it must be delivered in a way that ensures this verification. Additionally, if an electronically sent notice is not acknowledged, the sender must revert to traditional mailing methods. The bill also repeals certain sections of existing law, reflecting a significant modernization of the legal framework governing landlord-tenant communications.
