This Act allows a tenant to terminate a rental agreement early if they are purchasing a home by providing 30 days' written notice to the landlord. The 30-day period begins on the first day of the month after the day the notice is given. This Act also makes technical corrections to conform existing law to the standards of the Delaware Legislative Drafting Manual. This Act updates language for group or cooperative living facility and retirement home to the definition of long-term care facility in §1102 of Title 16. And this Act removes references to subsidized public or private housing from § 5314(b)(3) of Title 25 because it is repeated in § 5314(b)(4) of Title 25.
