AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 25 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO KEY SURRENDER IN RESIDENTIAL LEASES.

Summary

The amendment adds a fallback key‑return option for residential leases that do not spell out how keys should be surrendered. Tenants may give the keys in person on the first business day after the lease ends, or leave them in the rental unit or a secure drop box the landlord has identified, with written notice. This gives renters a clear, practical way to fulfill their key‑return duty.
