Annotations

A tenant who accepts possession and lives on the property for several months thereafter does not have a claim under this section, because the duties described in this section pertain to the "commencement" of the lease term. Vasquez v. CHI Properties, 302 Neb. 742, 925 N.W.2d 304 (2019).
