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.
Time Frame: The notice period typically ranges from 3 to 30 days, depending on the reason for eviction and the terms of the lease agreement.
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.
The letter must be clear in stating the exact reason for the eviction. It must also state what further action(s) the landlord intends to take if the allotted time elapses on the notice. Keep the letter as brief as possible. Refrain from bubbly language that may confuse the intent of the notice, and stay to the point.
Gather Necessary Information. Collect all pertinent information related to your eviction. This includes your lease agreement, documentation of rent payments, communication with the landlord, and any other relevant records. The more evidence you have to support your case, the stronger your letter will be.
How to Fight an Eviction Prove That Your Landlord Breached the Lease by Failing to Maintain the Property. Prove That You're a Victim of Discrimination. Prove That Your Landlord Improperly Served You with Notice of Eviction. Prove That Your Landlord Has No Justification for Evicting You.
If you have been personally served NOTICE of eviction (meaning a case has been filed against you with the court), you can PREVENT receiving an ORDER of eviction by contacting the landlord and paying your rent in full to the landlord at any time PRIOR to the court date, and then ask for him to withdraw the motion.
