Delaware Lead-Based Paint Disclosure
This Lead-Based Paint Disclosure is built with Delaware as the governing state. These are the Delaware landlord-tenant rules that most often bear on it, with the statute for each.
Delaware rules at a glance
| Lead-based paint | Federal lead warning and known-hazard disclosure for housing built before 1978 (42 U.S.C. §4852d). A 2025 Delaware law adds a duty to provide units free of lead-based paint hazards and certified lead-safe or lead-free (§5305(a)(6) and Chapter 54), but it takes effect only on a delayed implementation date set by the Delaware State Housing Authority. |
|---|---|
| Landlord entry | 48 hours’ notice, between 8:00am and 9:00pm25 Del. C. §5509 |
Landlord entry & access
Delaware sets one of the stricter entry rules in the country. Except for repairs the tenant requested, the landlord must give at least 48 hours’ notice and may enter only between 8:00am and 9:00pm; in an emergency the landlord may enter at any time (§5509(b)). For showings to prospective tenants or buyers only, the tenant may waive the 48-hour notice in a separate signed addendum. The tenant can’t unreasonably refuse access for inspections, repairs or showings, and may add a lock at their own cost if they give the landlord a key (§5509(a)).
Required disclosures in Delaware
- Summary of the Code — The state’s summary of the Residential Landlord-Tenant Code must be given to every new tenant at the start of the rental term (§5118).
- Copy of the lease — The landlord must give the tenant a copy of the signed written lease free of charge (§5105).
- Lead-based paint — Federal lead warning and known-hazard disclosure for housing built before 1978 (42 U.S.C. §4852d). A 2025 Delaware law adds a duty to provide units free of lead-based paint hazards and certified lead-safe or lead-free (§5305(a)(6) and Chapter 54), but it takes effect only on a delayed implementation date set by the Delaware State Housing Authority.
