Nebraska requirement
Nebraska requires a 5-day unconditional quit notice. Neb. Rev. Stat. 76-1431(4) (NOT (3) as sometimes miscited): for violent criminal activity, the illegal sale of a controlled substance, or other activity threatening the health or safety of others on the premises by the tenant, a household member, guest, or person under the tenant's control, the landlord may, after FIVE days' written notice of termination and WITHOUT the tenant's right to cure, file suit for possession. Subsection (5) shields a tenant who is the victim/non-participant and takes specified remedial steps. This 5-day no-cure path is Nebraska's closest analog to an unconditional quit; outside it, ordinary lease breaches always carry a cure right under 76-1431(1). (Subsection (3) is the separate damages/injunctive-relief/attorney's-fees remedy.)

Unconditional Quit Notice (Nebraska)
UNCONDITIONAL QUIT NOTICE
Date of Notice: ________________
From (Landlord/Agent): [LANDLORD/AGENT NAME], [LANDLORD ADDRESS]
To: [TENANT NAME(S)], Tenant(s) in possession of: [PROPERTY ADDRESS]
YOU ARE HEREBY NOTIFIED that, because of the following: [state the specific serious or repeated violation / illegal activity, with dates and facts], your tenancy is terminated. You are required to vacate and surrender possession of the property within 5 days after this notice is served on you. This notice does not give an opportunity to cure.
IMPORTANT: An unconditional (no-cure) notice is valid only for the serious or non-curable grounds your state specifically allows. Confirm this situation qualifies — otherwise a notice that gives a chance to cure may be required.
If you do not comply with this notice within the time stated, the landlord may begin legal proceedings to recover possession of the property under Neb. Rev. Stat. §§ 76-1401 to 76-14,111 (Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act); key sections 76-1431 (nonpayment/breach/criminal activity), 76-1437 (periodic tenancy termination), 76-1413 (notice/service), 76-1414 (rent payable without demand).
Only a court can order you to move out. The landlord may NOT lock you out, remove your belongings, or shut off your utilities; doing so is illegal.
This notice is given without waiving, and the landlord expressly reserves, all other rights and remedies, including the right to recover unpaid rent and damages.
How this notice may be served: Neb. Rev. Stat. 76-1413: notice to a tenant is given by (a) hand delivery to the tenant, (b) mailing to the place the tenant holds out for receipt of communications (or, absent that, the last-known residence), or (c) electronic means (email/posting) where the tenant has consented; consented electronic delivery is treated as equivalent to first-class/registered/certified mail. Eviction (forcible-entry-and-detainer / 'restitution') actions are filed in county court under Neb. Rev. Stat. 25-21,219 et seq. after the applicable notice period expires.
