Nebraska lease, notice, and security-deposit rules
A sale does not by itself cancel the lease or decide when a tenant must leave. The buyer takes the house subject to the lease. Review the actual lease, occupancy, notices, and deposit records for this rental.
Neb. Rev. Stat. § 76-1420 — sale and transfer
If you sell in good faith, you are no longer responsible for landlord obligations arising after the tenant receives written notice of the sale. You remain responsible for the security deposit and prepaid rent unless you hand them over to the buyer with written notice to the tenant.
Neb. Rev. Stat. § 76-1437 — ending periodic tenancies
To end a month-to-month tenancy, the landlord or tenant must give written notice at least 30 days before the rent day named in the notice. A week-to-week tenancy takes at least 7 days' written notice. A fixed-term lease and other legal protections may require a different approach.
Neb. Rev. Stat. § 76-1416 — security deposits
A security deposit cannot be more than one month's rent, plus a pet deposit of up to one-quarter of a month's rent. When a tenancy ends, whoever owns the house must return the deposit, less lawful deductions and with a written list of them, within 14 days.
Keep the handoff records together

Can I sell my Lincoln house while tenants are still living there?
Yes. You can sell with tenants in place. A sale does not by itself cancel the lease; the buyer takes the house subject to it and becomes the new landlord.
Does selling the house mean tenants have to move?
No. The sale alone does not end the lease or require tenants to move. You do not always need to evict to sell to us. We buy houses with tenants in place — we have done it many times, including cash-for-keys when that works better for everyone. Tell us about the property and tenancy.
What written notice is needed to end a periodic tenancy in Nebraska?

What happens to the security deposit and prepaid rent when I sell?
