I have a document not signed with an signature before a notary public, only a ink printed name and signed by the notary public

Delaware's Landlord Tenant Code allows a tenant to terminate a lease before the end of the term, but it depends on the circumstances. Can you explain why the rental unit needs to be shut down?

Did you read the decision? If so, what part don't you understand? The opinion is much too long for such a broad question.
