Nebraska Repairs and habitability remedies

What can a tenant do if the landlord won't make repairs in Nebraska?

Material noncompliance affecting health and safety: written notice that the lease ends in 30+ days unless the breach is fixed within 14 days, plus damages or an injunction. If the landlord fails to supply heat, water, hot water or essential services, the tenant may buy them and deduct the cost, recover reduced rental value, or get substitute housing and pay no rent meanwhile.
