Change provisions of the Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act relating to waivers of jury trials and summonses and provide for summary judgment and expedited proceedings

Summary

The proposal amends Nebraska's Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act to let rental agreements waive a tenant's right to a jury trial in possession actions, while keeping other waivers prohibited. It also tightens summons rules, sets strict timelines for service, and introduces summary‑judgment and expedited trial provisions. The changes would affect landlords, tenants, and courts by speeding up eviction proceedings and clarifying fee awards.
