1 Del. Admin. Code § 201 § 2.0
Criteria for Landlord Benefits
Operative Text
2.1 If pursuant to the Act and these regulations, a manufactured home is determined to be non-relocatable or a Tenant abandons the home, upon application by the Landlord duly submitted to the Authority, a Landlord of a manufactured home community is entitled to receive from the Relocation Trust Fund payment in an amount determined by the Authority to be sufficient to remove and/or dispose of the manufactured home. The maximum relocation payment available to a Landlord, including any demolition costs incurred by the Landlord in disposing of a home, is $3,000.00 for a single section home and $5,000.00 for a multi-section home. To qualify for this benefit, the Landlord must submit an application pursuant to the provisions of Section 3. Notwithstanding anything stated herein to the contrary, a Landlord shall not be entitled to any of the benefits described herein unless all of the statutory requirements set forth in the Act have been met. 2.2 Upon receipt of the title documents from the Tenant for the manufactured home that is considered to be non-relocatable or abandoned pursuant to the Act, the Authority will relinquish the title to the Landlord to facilitate the removal and/or disposal of the home from the manufactured home community. Within ten (10) calendar days after the removal and/or disposal of the manufactured home by the Landlord, the Landlord shall notify the Authority in writing of the amount of funds received by the Landlord, if any, from any subsequent sale or disposal of the manufactured home, and a copy of all documents relating to the removal and/or disposal shall be provided to the Authority, including documents relating to any expenses incurred by the Landlord in removing and/or disposing of the home. 2.3 Within thirty (30) days after receipt of the information and documents required under the Act and these regulations, the Authority shall cause a voucher to be issued to the Division of Revenue of the Department of Finance, directing the Division to issue a check in a designated amount to the Landlord which amount shall represent the amount determined by the Authority to be sufficient to cover the cost of the removal and/or disposal of the manufactured home, less any profit realized by the Landlord from the removal and/or disposal of the home, subject to the maximum relocation payment set forth in Section 2.1 hereof. 2.4 A Landlord shall not be entitled to any payment from the Trust Fund if the Landlord has failed to pay the Landlord’s share of the total Trust Fund assessment during the course of the tenancies relating to the manufactured home community or if the Landlord has failed to remit the Tenant’s share of said assessment.
Section 2.0 of 1 Del. Admin. Code 201 establishes the conditions under which a manufactured home community landlord may receive reimbursement from the Relocation Trust Fund when a manufactured home is deemed non-relocatable or abandoned. The fund covers removal and disposal costs, up to $3,000 for a single-section home and $5,000 for a multi-section home, reduced by any profit the landlord realizes from selling or disposing of the home. Eligibility depends on the landlord having met all statutory requirements under the Act, including having kept current on Trust Fund assessments for both the landlord's own share and any tenant share the landlord was responsible for remitting.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under 1 Del. Admin. Code 201 § 2.0, compliant operators generally submit a timely application to the Authority when a home is determined non-relocatable or abandoned, and they ensure all Trust Fund assessments—both their own share and any tenant share—have been paid throughout the relevant tenancies. After removing or disposing of the home, operators typically notify the Authority in writing within ten calendar days, providing documentation of all costs and any proceeds received from the sale or disposal. The Authority then processes a voucher to the Division of Revenue, issuing a reimbursement check that reflects actual removal costs minus any profit, capped at the maximums stated in Section 2.1.

Section 2.0 of 1 Del. Admin. Code 201 is primarily directed at landlords, but it has indirect relevance to tenants whose homes may be classified as non-relocatable or abandoned under the Act. The provision requires that title documents from the tenant be transferred to the Authority before the landlord can obtain title and proceed with removal, which means the process involves formal steps that tenants may have an opportunity to understand or respond to. Tenants in manufactured home communities who have questions about how a non-relocatability or abandonment determination affects their rights may find it useful to consult a tenant-rights organization or legal aid service familiar with Delaware's manufactured housing regulations.
