SB116

Delaware SB116 amends the Delaware Code to modify the right of redemption for tenants facing eviction due to nonpayment of rent.

Delaware SB116 amends the Delaware Code to clarify and expand tenants' rights of redemption in eviction cases. The bill allows tenants to redeem their rental unit by paying all past due rent, including court-awarded costs and fees, before the execution of the eviction order. It mandates that landlords must notify the court and law enforcement upon receiving payment and make efforts to prevent eviction. The bill also specifies that landlords cannot initiate eviction actions if tenants pay all due rent before the landlord files such an action.
