A Delaware 5-day notice to quit for non-payment of rent is a formal document issued by a landlord to a tenant who has failed to pay rent on time, allowing a predefined period to pay the overdue rent or vacate the rental property.
The notice specifies the amount of rent owed, the due date, and the deadline by which the tenant must pay to avoid further legal action. It highlights the urgency of the situation and the consequences of continued non-payment. Should the tenant fail to remedy the rent default within the specified five-day period, the landlord may initiate eviction proceedings as permitted by Delaware’s legal requirements.
Governing Law — 25 Delaware Code § 5502.
Grace Period for Rent Payment — 5 days (25 Delaware Code § 5501(d)).
