An Act To Amend Titles 7 And 16 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Lead Paint On Outdoor Facilities.

Where it is in the process

Plain-English Summary

This bill allows tenants to withhold rent and pay it into a court-supervised escrow account if their landlord fails to fix dangerous conditions in their living space. Tenants must first notify their landlord and give them a reasonable time to make repairs. If the landlord doesn't act, a court can then decide on various outcomes, such as reducing rent, terminating the lease, or ordering repairs using the escrowed funds.
