Draft Text

Delaware SB186 amends the Landlord-Tenant Code to allow electronic communication for notices and security deposits.

Delaware SB186 modifies the Landlord-Tenant Code by permitting landlords and tenants to communicate via email, text, or other electronic means if they regularly used such methods. This change applies to notices and the return of security deposits. If the parties regularly communicated electronically, the landlord can use the same method to send notices, provided the tenant can prove receipt. The bill also reiterates that all communications and notices must be directed to the addresses specified in the rental agreement or to a forwarding address provided by the tenant.
