Notice Requirements: Landlords in Delaware must provide proper notice before commencing an eviction, which includes a 5-day notice for unpaid rent or a 7-day notice for lease violations.
Before they can start the eviction process, a landlord must give the tenant an official written 3-Day Notice to Quit. If the tenant fails to vacate the rental unit after the three-day notice, the landlord may continue filing for a Forcible Entry and Detainer action.
Is it legal to hand write an eviction notice? No. It IS legal to hand-write some of the other notices, such as the 5-Day Pay-or-Quit, as long as all the necessary information and signatures are included. But the eviction notice itself must be issued by the Court, so it will be printed not hand-written.
If you lose your eviction case, you need to move out (at the latest) 5 days after the sheriff posts a Notice to Vacate on your door. If you need more time to move, you can ask the court for a stay of execution.
