Research notes
Regulates the landlord-tenant relationship in manufactured home communities — rent-increase justification, closure notice, and disclosures. Does NOT mandate zoning districts that must permit manufactured housing, and does NOT preempt a municipality or county from limiting where new manufactured home communities may locate. The HUD-Code manufactured-home siting-preemption lines that exist in other states (FL, CA) are absent from Delaware statute. Section numbers in 25 Del. C. Ch. 70 have shifted across codifications — reconfirm exact subchapter on retrieval before quoting.
