25 Del. C. ch. 70 § 7045
Payment of funds to tenants
Operative Text
(a) When a payment to a tenant is authorized by the Authority, payment must be made in the form of a voucher issued to the Division of Revenue of the Department of Finance, directing the Division to issue a check in a designated amount to the named tenant. (b) If the Trust Fund does not have sufficient moneys to make a payment to a tenant under this section, the Authority shall issue a written promissory note to the tenant for funds due and owing. A promissory note may be redeemed in order of issuance of the notes as additional moneys come into the Trust Fund. (c) It is a class A misdemeanor for a tenant or a tenant’s agent to file a notice, statement, or other document required under this section which is false or contains a material misstatement of fact.
Under 25 Del. C. ch. 70 § 7045, when the Delaware Manufactured Home Relocation Authority approves a payment to a tenant, that payment is issued through a formal voucher process routed to the Division of Revenue, which then cuts a check to the tenant. If the Trust Fund lacks sufficient money at the time, the Authority must issue a written promissory note to the tenant, redeemable in the order notes were issued as funds become available. Tenants or their agents who submit false or materially misleading documents in connection with this process may face criminal liability as a class A misdemeanor under Delaware law.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Section 7045 of Title 25 governs how tenant payments flow from the Trust Fund and does not impose direct obligations on landlords regarding the payment mechanics. Property owners and managers should nonetheless be aware that the Authority controls the disbursement process and that any documentation submitted in connection with a tenant's claim must be accurate. Operators who interact with tenants navigating this process generally ensure that any information they provide to support or accompany a tenant's filing is complete and factually correct.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Under 25 Del. C. ch. 70 § 7045, tenants who are approved for a payment from the Trust Fund receive it via a check issued by the Division of Revenue, or, if funds are insufficient, a written promissory note that is honored in the order it was issued as money becomes available. Tenants should be aware that filing any false or materially inaccurate document under this section is classified as a class A misdemeanor, so accuracy in all submitted notices and statements is essential. Tenants with questions about the status of a payment or promissory note may contact the Delaware Manufactured Home Relocation Authority directly or reach out to a tenant-rights organization for general guidance.
