This is not (yet) a legal issue. This sounds like a problem best looked into by your county health department.
Took landlord 4 years to fix the water leak from roof. It’s been over a year and still hasn’t fixed ac upstairs or ceiling fans. No ac in main building only celling fans.
I gave a 60 day notice to move out by the end of August.

I never received this letter and based on the date of the... Read more »

The results for stratysbotrys and other toxic molds have came back in high numbers. I had swab samples and air testing both done. I have contacted the county, health department, fire marshal, attorney general and not one of them can seem to help me. My landlord is not cooperating with me at all... Read more »

My landlord is attempting to sell the property and is requiring that we allow an "investor" into the home even though he will not be there at the time that the investor will be there. Do I have to allow a stranger into my home?
The damage that needs repairing was not caused by the tenant.
The landlord sent a mail that re-letting and renovation expense to prepare the apartment for new tenant equals to entire month rent. Basically they are saying there will be no refund of deposit.

If you've been served with a judgment to that effect (or were in present in court when the judge pronounced his judgment), you are subject to that order or judgment. If you fail to move out, the next step will be to serve you with a citation for contempt of court, which will order you to... Read more »

If you have no written lease with your tenants, it's deemed to be a month-to-month lease. You must follow the requirements of the Delaware Landlord-Tenant Code to remove them. You can read the Code here:... Read more »
