Return security deposit and itemization within 14 days after the tenancy ends. Nebraska law (Neb. Rev. Stat. 76-1416) requires delivering or mailing any deposit balance with a written itemization of deductions within 14 days after the tenancy terminates, by first-class mail to the tenant's last known address if the tenant left no mailing instructions, and a landlord who misses it can owe the money due, court costs, and reasonable attorney's fees, and, if the failure was willful and not in good faith, liquidated damages of one month's rent or twice the deposit, whichever is less.
