Provide for removal from a rental agreement of a cotenant or occupant who has committed domestic violence, require landlords to change locks, and provide landlords with related powers and duties

LB 267 allows tenants facing domestic violence to have the person who committed the violence removed from their rental agreement, whether that person is a roommate or not. To do this, tenants must provide landlords with a court order or certification of domestic violence, plus written notice with the perpetrator's name and a requested termination date. Landlords must then follow specific steps: change locks within 24 hours for non-roommates (or install new locks after removal for roommates), notify the tenant about access, and may recover court costs from the perpetrator. This law directly affects tenants experiencing domestic violence, landlords who must act promptly, and the perpetrators facing eviction.
