This booklet is intended to help only with Court procedures in summary possession actions. For further information on summary possession,
and for information on the substantive rights and obligations of landlords and tenants, you should consult the Residential Landlord Tenant Code (contained
in Part III of Title 25 of the Delaware Code).

A summary may be obtained from the Consumer Protection Unit of the Attorney General's Office or a copy of the Code may be obtained by contacting Legislative Council in Dover. The Code is contained at any public library in the State and on the internet at www.delaware.gov. Under “Government & Services” select “General Assembly”; select “Delaware Laws from the ribbon at the top of the screen, then select “Landlord Tenant Code”.

If you are a landlord or tenant of a manufactured home or manufactured home lot, you should also consult the Manufactured Home Owners and Community Owners Act (contained in Chapter 70 of Title 25 of the Delaware Code) for further information. You may obtain this from the sources listed above for the Residential Landlord Tenant Code. The substantive rights and obligations of commercial landlords and tenants are usually governed
by general contract law.
