The link at the bottom is Nebraska tenet law on eviction. Here's the part you're interested in. You'll have 30 days. But try to talk to your landlord and work things out, you might be surprised how willing they are to work with you.

HEADING Chapter 76. Real Property.
CATCHLINE Noncompliance; failure to pay rent; effect.
LAW 76-1431. (1) Except as provided in sections 25-21,219
and 76-1401 to 76-1449, if there is a noncompliance with section
76-1421 materially affecting health and safety or a material
noncompliance by the tenant with the rental agreement or any
separate agreement, the landlord may deliver a written notice to
the tenant specifying the acts and omissions constituting the
breach and that the rental agreement will terminate upon a date
not less than thirty days after receipt of the notice if the
breach is not remedied in fourteen days, and the rental agreement
shall terminate as provided in the notice subject to the
following. If the breach is remediable by repairs or the payment
of damages or otherwise and the tenant adequately remedies the
breach prior to the date specified in the notice, the rental
agreement will not terminate. If substantially the same act or
omission which constituted a prior noncompliance of which notice
was given recurs within six months, the landlord may terminate
the rental agreement upon at least fourteen days' written notice
specifying the breach and the date of termination of the rental
agreement.
(2) If rent is unpaid when due and the tenant fails to
pay rent within three days after written notice by the landlord
of nonpayment and his intention to terminate the rental agreement
if the rent is not paid within that period of time, the landlord
may terminate the rental agreement.
(3) Except as provided in sections 25-21,219 and
76-1401 to 76-1449, the landlord may recover damages and obtain
injunctive relief for any noncompliance by the tenant with the
rental agreement or section 76-1421. If the tenant's
noncompliance is willful the landlord may recover reasonable
attorney's fees.

Answer 2

"a landlord can’t use “self-help” methods to evict a tenant, such as changing the lock or turning off the electricity and water. A landlord who does that may be liable for damages and some states have penalties such as damages in the amount of a few months rent. A landlord who wants to evict a tenant must follow the relevant state and local laws to the letter, dotting every i and crossing every t. The process of eviction is a very fast one compared to other kinds of legal actions. The trade off is that the landlord must do everything exactly right. If the landlord makes mistakes in giving eviction notices, for example, the later eviction case will be thrown out and the landlord will have to begin again. The first thing as landlord has to do to begin an eviction is to end the tenancy. This is done by giving an eviction notice"

3. If you receive a 3-day notice of nonpayment of rent from your landlord…
The notice is from the landlord and you need to pay your rent during these three days, but you cannot be put out by the landlord until you are evicted.
Your landlord may send you a notice in the mail, hand you a notice or leave a notice on your door saying that you have not paid rent for the month and that you have 3 days to pay it. The notice will usually say that unless you pay the rent in full within 3 days, the lease will be terminated (meaning the lease will end). You need to pay your rent within these three days. After the three days are up, the landlord does not have to accept the rent from you, even if you offer the full amount. Instead, the landlord can sue you for eviction if you do not pay within the three days. The important thing to remember is that this kind of a notice comes from the landlord, not the court, so it does not mean that you need to move out.
Pay your rent in full plus any late fees within three days.
If you do this, the landlord must accept the rent and your rental agreement will not be terminated for nonpayment of rent and you will not have to move. If you only offer to pay part of the rent, your landlord does not have to accept it.
If you cannot pay the rent in full within three days, your landlord might file suit.
The landlord may file suit asking that you be evicted from the property. If this happens, you will be served papers by someone from the sheriff’s office or another process server. See If you have been sued (received papers from the court)… for more information on what to do if you have been sued.

GOOD LUCK!

Answer 4

Why don't you talk to your landlord and maybe you can work out a payment arrangement. Just let them know your situation and then make an agreement (in writing) but then stick to it. You'd be surprised as to how many landlords are willing to work with people.

Answer 5

It should take at least 6 months to evict you. Call you lanlord and talk to them they should understand.
