Governing statute: 25 Del. C. § 5107 · Read the statute ↗
Special rule: 60 days' notice before expiration of the rental term; under current § 5107 the tenant must terminate at least 45 days before term end or the modified terms are deemed accepted (the old 15-day rejection window was removed).
Data version 2026.07.1, compiled July 2026. Verify with the current statute — laws change, and cities or counties may add stricter requirements.
What a valid Delaware rent increase notice includes
- • Full names of all tenants and the rental property address
- • The landlord’s name and mailing address
- • The current rent, the new rent, and the exact date the increase takes effect
- • Service at least 60 days before the effective date (25 Del. C. § 5107)
- • 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. § 5107 — if your dates fall short of the Delaware minimum.
