What counts as retaliation, and the window where the law presumes it
This page covers landlord retaliation in Nebraska — what a landlord may not do after you exercise a protected right.
It does not cover commercial leases, or conduct outside the protected window described below.
Neb. Rev. Stat. § 76-1439 — 禁止因两类受保护行为（向政府机构投诉房屋法规 / 加入租客组织）报复性涨租/减服务/驱逐。
官方原文只列两类受保护行为 + good-faith 例外（reasonable rent increases 明确不禁止），**无「1 年/6 个月/90 天」任何推定窗口**。权威站 tenantscreeningbackgroundcheck 明确「does not, by its terms, set a specific time-based presumption」。二手站 leaselenses「1 年」、cityrulelookup「6 个月」、rentcheckme「90 天」全部编造。举证在租客。
Neb. Rev. Stat. § 76-1439 ↗Nebraska does not set a statutory presumption window. Whether an action counts as retaliation depends on the facts rather than a fixed clock.
无固定推定窗口。二手站宣称的「1 年/6 个月/90 天推定」全系编造（76-1439 无任何时间推定）。

Where the official text and a secondary summary disagree, this page follows the official text and says so. Where a provision admits of more than one reading, that is flagged rather than smoothed over.
