About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the lease bond actually covers

A tenant lease bond is a lease guarantee — a private, contractual surety bond, not a government license requirement. Nebraska doesn’t mandate it; a landlord asks for it, and the tenant posts it so the landlord will accept it in place of a large cash security deposit.

It guarantees the tenant will pay rent and meet the lease obligations — including property-related responsibilities like repairs. If the tenant defaults, the landlord can claim against the bond for the loss, up to the bond amount.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the landlord, you repay the surety. Its appeal is cash flow: instead of locking up the full deposit, you pay the 2% premium and keep your capital.

Contractual lease guarantee (not a statutory bond)A Nebraska tenant lease bond is a private lease guarantee, not a bond required by statute. The amount, conditions, and obligee are set by your lease and your landlord — there is no governing Nebraska statute that mandates it. Confirm the required amount and bond form with your landlord before applying.

After you buy

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.

If a claim is made

A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.

The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.

Renewal and term

The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose.

Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.

How to file it

Deliver to your landlord. Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to hand to your landlord in place of the cash deposit. Wet-ink original mailed on request.

What sets the price

The premium is 2% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.

One soft credit pull, never a hard inquiry, and it never affects your score.

Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.

One application, one soft pull.

Submit the application with the bond amount your lease requires and a one-time soft-pull consent. The executed bond is generated ready to deliver.

FAQ

Common questions.

Is a tenant lease bond required by Nebraska law?No — it’s a private lease guarantee, not a statutory bond. A landlord asks for it, usually as an alternative to a large cash security deposit. The amount and terms come from your lease, not from the state.
How much is it?Pricing is 2% of the bond amount, with a $100 minimum. The amount is whatever your landlord requires — often tied to the deposit or a few months’ rent. Enter that figure to see your exact price.
How is this better than a cash deposit?A deposit ties up your cash for the whole lease. A lease bond costs the premium up front and frees that capital — while still giving the landlord a guarantee they can claim against.
Is there a credit check?Yes: one soft credit pull, never a hard inquiry, and it never affects your score. Pricing is 2% of the bond amount, $100 minimum.
What amount should I enter?Use the figure your landlord named in or alongside the lease. If you’re unsure, ask your landlord for the exact bond amount and form, and send it to us.
Which A-rated carriers underwrite these bonds?Typically Arch Insurance Company (A.M. Best A+) or Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company (A.M. Best A). Which one writes your bond depends on the bond type and your state. The carrier's name and official signature are printed on the bond you receive.
