Source: Legislative text reproduced verbatim
Plain English

Under 25 Del. C. ch. 70 § 7068, the state's chief law enforcement officer—the Attorney General—is authorized to step into any legal action filed under this subchapter of Delaware's landlord-tenant law. This means the Attorney General can become a party to or otherwise participate in such litigation without needing a separate statutory basis. The provision signals that the state has a recognized interest in ensuring this subchapter's protections are upheld.

For Property Managers

Section 7068 means that a dispute brought under this subchapter is not necessarily limited to the original parties, as the Attorney General may enter the case. Property owners and managers operating under Delaware's landlord-tenant framework should be aware that state-level scrutiny can accompany private litigation under this subchapter. Maintaining thorough records and consistent compliance practices is a hallmark of operators who are prepared for any level of review.

General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.

For Tenants

Under § 7068, tenants who bring an action under this subchapter may find that the Attorney General joins the proceeding, which can reflect the state's broader interest in enforcing these protections. This intervention authority exists independently of any individual tenant's choices about how to pursue a claim. Tenants seeking to understand their rights under this subchapter may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization or legal aid provider familiar with Delaware housing law.
