Navigating through Delaware’s Residential Landlord-Tenant Law
This Guide covers the provisions of, and case law concerning, Delaware’s Residential Landlord–Tenant Code (hereinafter “the Code”), which is attached to this Guide as Appendix 1.

Before reading this Guide, it is important to understand the scope of the Code’s coverage to determine if the Code governs your particular issue.
