Request
I request a reasonable accommodation to keep the animal identified below at this dwelling. The animal helps address a disability-related need. I ask you to consider the specific change to a housing rule or practice described here so that I may use and enjoy the dwelling. Neb. Rev. Stat. § 20-319(2)(b).
Animal name and species: [________________________________]
Housing rule or charge affected: [NO-ANIMAL RULE / ANIMAL DEPOSIT / OTHER]
Change requested: [________________________________]
How the animal helps with the disability-related need, without stating a diagnosis:
[____________________________________________________________]
How the requested change helps me use and enjoy the dwelling:
[____________________________________________________________]
Neb. Rev. Stat. § 20-131.04 separately addresses additional deposits for a service animal in covered housing accommodations. My request for this emotional support animal asks for an individualized decision under § 20-319(2)(b); I do not claim the service-animal deposit provision automatically decides the request.
Supporting information:
☐ The disability-related need is already apparent or known to the housing provider.
☐ I enclose relevant supporting information. Attachment: [________________________________].
☐ Please tell me what further information you need and a private way to provide it.
Please respond in writing to [PRIVATE CONTACT METHOD] by [REQUESTED DATE]. If you need more information or propose a different accommodation, please describe it so that I can respond.

Landlord-tenant paperwork governs who can stay in a property, on what terms, and what happens when something goes wrong. Leases, notices to quit, security deposit demands, and habitability complaints all have state and often city-specific requirements for timing, content, and service. Getting the paperwork right is what makes an eviction actually succeed or a security deposit actually come back, because judges regularly dismiss cases over small procedural mistakes.
