Housing Justice Clinic Clients

Back

The Housing Justice Clinic focuses on providing limited scope legal representation to residential tenants facing judicial eviction in Lancaster County, Nebraska through the Tenant Assistance Project (TAP). TAP services are completely free of charge and are available to renters with household incomes at or below 80% of the Area Median Income with pending eviction cases in Lancaster County, Nebraska. Eligible individuals can access TAP services on the 2nd floor of the Lancaster County Courthouse—575 South 10th Street, Lincoln, Nebraska 68505—on the day of their eviction hearing.

If you or someone you know is currently facing eviction: Resolve the issue before an eviction action is filed with the court, whenever possible; collect relevant documents to bring to court; know where to go for your eviction hearing and when to arrive; and attend your eviction hearing, and aim to arrive 15 to 20 minutes early.

The Housing Justice Program at the University of Nebraska College of Law has created resources with the goal of providing Nebraskans with general information that may be helpful when navigating residential landlord-tenant related issues.
