1 Del. Admin. Code § 202-4.0 - Rent Increase Notice Procedures

4.1 A community owner is required to give written notice to each affected home owner, to the Home Owners Association, if one exists, and to the Authority, at least 90 days prior to any increase in lot rent. When more than one tenant is affected by the rent increase, in lieu of providing the HOA or the Authority with copies of each letter sent to each affected tenant, the community owner shall provide the HOA and the Authority with a summary letter ("Summary Letter") certifying that written notice has been sent to each affected home owner together with a copy of the form of notice provided, which form must contain the information required hereunder. The Summary Letter shall identify all affected home owners by lot number, name, group or phase. If the affected home owners are not identified by name, the community owner shall make the names and addresses available to any affected home owner, HOA, and the Authority upon request. In any such notice, in addition to the information required to be provided under 25 Del.C. § 7043 (a), the community owner shall (with respect to each affected home owner) state whether or not the proposed rent increase exceeds the CPI-U and provide the following information:
