The Nebraska rental lease agreements are created to bind an individual who owns property (a landlord/lessor) and an individual who is seeking to occupy the space for commercial or residential use (a tenant/lessee). The landlord should always verify the credentials of each applicant to deter those who might cause damage to the premises or fail to pay rent.
