Summary
Section 7042 of Title 25 of the Delaware Code lists the completion and cost of any capital improvements or rehabilitation work in a manufactured home community, as distinguished from ordinary repair, replacement, and maintenance, as a factor that may justify an increase in rent but only until the cost of the improvement has been fully recovered. Like Senate Substitute No. 2 for SB 23, this Act clarifies this provision by making the recovery of such capital improvement or rehabilitation work a fee under ยง 7008, the fee section of this chapter, so that it is a separate charge from rent and provides notice requirements regarding the fee. This Act provides a revised definition of capital improvement and rehabilitation work. This definition is placed in the definitions section of Chapter 70. Chapter 70 defines rent as including fees, preserving a community owners ability to enforce payment of the fee. By identifying this assessment as a fee, it is clearly identified as separate from a base rent increase.
Title
An Act To Amend Title 25 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Rent Justification.
