SB34

An Act To Amend Title 25 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Tenant's Right To Early Lease Termination.

Introduced·1/23/26

SB34 amends tenant's right to early lease termination in Delaware, adding new scenarios for early exit.

SB34 amends Title 25 of the Delaware Code to expand tenant's right to early lease termination. It allows tenants to terminate a lease early if they are accepted into a senior citizens' housing facility, a rental unit subsidized by a governmental entity or private nonprofit corporation, or if they enter the military on active duty. It also permits termination if the tenant is a victim of domestic abuse, sexual offenses, or stalking, or if they purchase a primary residence. The bill maintains the existing provisions for relocation due to employment changes or serious illness within the family.
