This bill amends Nebraska's property laws to provide clearer guidelines for issuing certificates of title for mobile homes and to redefine terms related to the Disposition of Personal Property Landlord and Tenant Act. Key provisions include a requirement for proof of ownership when applying for a certificate of title for manufactured or mobile homes, which can be demonstrated through a manufacturer's certificate, court orders, or assessment records. The bill introduces new definitions for terms such as "mobile home," "mobile home park," and "personal property," while ensuring consistency across related laws.
Additionally, the bill modifies the notification process for landlords regarding personal property left on premises after a tenancy ends. It mandates that landlords provide written notice to tenants and potential owners about the property and the conditions for claiming it. The bill allows for the sale of unclaimed property at public auction, with specific advertising requirements, and clarifies that landlords may retain or dispose of property valued under two thousand dollars. It also establishes that a mobile home is considered abandoned if the tenant has defaulted on rent and has been absent for at least thirty days. Overall, these changes aim to streamline the management of mobile home titles and improve the handling of abandoned personal property.
