FAQ
Your landlord has to keep your home in a good condition and do repairs if you need them. They can't make you leave your home just for asking for repairs to be done - your landlord has to follow a proper eviction process if they want you to leave.
Kansas Eviction Process Timeline Issuance/Service of Summons and Complaint at least 3 days prior to the eviction hearing. Court Hearing and Ruling on the Eviction 3-28 days, depending on whether a follow-up hearing is held. Issuance of Writ of Restitution A few hours to a few days.
Nebraska Eviction is 3 Days or 30 Days And it must state that the tenant may halt the eviction process by paying the rent or curing the violation within the notice period.
It says landlords should fix major problems within two weeks if they pose a threat to a tenant's health and security, such as a broken boiler in the depths of winter.
When a landlord fails to make necessary repairs or maintenance you can not simply withhold paying rent until the landlord makes the repairs. Your duty to pay rent and the landlord's duty to make repairs are totally separate and if you do not pay rent the landlord can evict you and not make the repairs.
Tenants can all agree to withhold rent until the landlord makes repairs. A group of tenants can ask a judge to order the landlord to make repairs. If the landlord absolutely refuses to fix the bad conditions, tenants can ask a court to appoint a temporary landlord called a receiver in order to make repairs.
Unfortunately that is not the case. Once a break notice has been served is cannot be unilaterally withdrawn. Even if both parties agree that the notice is withdrawn, service of the notice terminates the existing lease and creates a new tenancy by implication. There are a number of consequences that flow from this.
When a lease ends, a tenant may choose to move, continue to pay rent as a month-to-month tenant, or sign a new lease. If a tenant continues to pay rent after a lease ends, in most states the terms of the expired lease carry over into a month-to-month tenancy.
The 14-day/30-day notice must say how the tenant is breaching the lease and that the lease will automatically terminate 30 days (or more) from the date of the notice unless the tenant fixes the problem within 14 days of the date of the notice.
