AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 25 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO THE LANDLORD-TENANT CODE.

Summary

The Grace Peterson Act adds new duties for landlords who receive rent payments from Delaware re‑entry assistance funds. Before ending a lease, landlords must help the tenant create a discharge plan, notify the fund and, when applicable, the Department of Corrections and local police. Landlords who ignore these steps are barred from receiving any state re‑entry funds for a year, and tenants may stay or leave the unit under defined terms.
