What a valid Delaware lease non-renewal / termination notice includes

  • • Full names of all tenants and the rental property address
  • • The landlord’s name and mailing address
  • • The exact termination date by which the tenant must vacate
  • • Service at least 60 days before the effective date (25 Del. C. § 5106)
  • • A certificate of service recording how and when the notice was delivered — courts routinely ask for this

NoticeKit generates all of the above, computes your actual notice period, and warns you — citing 25 Del. C. § 5106 — if your dates fall short of the Delaware minimum.
