The Delaware Landlord Tenant Code is not overly complicated, but can be very confusing to unrepresented parties. Recent changes to the law make it especially important that a matter is handled correctly, the first time, in order to avoid costly delays. As a Landlord dealing with a potential eviction action, it is essential that you give your tenant the proper written notice, and file a Complaint with the Justice of the Peace Court that meets all legal requirements, or your case may be dismissed and you will be forced to start over, causing a delay of several months or more. Our attorneys have extensive experience with Landlord Tenant law and will help you recover possession of your rental property as fast as the law allows, the first time. In addition, many leases used by Landlords do not fully comply with Delaware law or do not adequately protect their rights. Our attorneys can review and revise your existing lease, or provide you with one tailored to your specific needs, along with other documents or disclosures that a landlord is legally required to give to a tenant at the outset of the tenancy.
As a commercial tenant with a good faith claim, if you do not assert your rights in a timely and proper manner, you may have no defense to your landlord’s claim, or may otherwise be putting yourself at a disadvantage. Our attorneys can advise you on your rights and remedies and help you protect your interests to the extent available under your commercial lease and Delaware law.
