Abstract: We prove that the error term in Weyl's law for `rational' $(2n+1)$-dimensional Heisenberg manifolds is of order $O(t^{n-{7}/{41}})$. In the `irrational' case, for generic $(2n+1)$-dimensional Heisenberg manifolds with $n>1$, we prove that the error term is of the order $O(t^{n-{1}/{4}}\log t)$. The polynomial growth is optimal.
