1 Del. Admin. Code § 202 § 5.0
Scheduling of Meetings When Proposed Rent Increase Exceeds CPI-U
Operative Text
When a proposed rent increase exceeds the CPI-U, the Authority shall schedule a meeting between the parties at the time, date, and place set forth in the community owner’s initial notice, unless the Authority determines, based on input from the parties, that said time, date, or place is not reasonable or should be changed, in which case the Authority, in its sole discretion, shall schedule the meeting at a time and place to be held no later than thirty (30) days after the mailing of the notice of the rent increase. Unless otherwise agreed to by all of the parties, the meeting shall take place in the county in which the manufactured home community is located. Notice of the time, date and place of the meeting shall be provided to the parties by the community owner.
Under 1 Del. Admin. Code 202 § 5.0, when a community owner proposes a rent increase that exceeds the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U), a formal meeting between the parties must be arranged. The Authority holds discretion to adjust the originally proposed meeting time, date, or location if it determines the initial proposal is unreasonable, but the meeting must occur no later than 30 days after the rent-increase notice is mailed. Barring agreement among all parties, the meeting must be held in the county where the manufactured home community is located, and the community owner is responsible for notifying all parties of the final meeting details.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Community owners operating under 1 Del. Admin. Code 202 § 5.0 who propose a rent increase above the CPI-U threshold are responsible for including a proposed meeting time, date, and location in their initial rent-increase notice. Compliant operators also send formal notice of the confirmed meeting details to all parties once the schedule is set or adjusted by the Authority. Keeping thorough records of all notices sent and received helps demonstrate adherence to the procedural requirements of this provision.

Under 1 Del. Admin. Code 202 § 5.0, residents of manufactured home communities have the right to participate in a scheduled meeting whenever a proposed rent increase exceeds the CPI-U, and they may provide input to the Authority if the proposed meeting time, date, or location is not reasonable for them. The meeting must generally take place in the same county as the community, unless all parties agree otherwise, which provides a degree of geographic accessibility. Tenants who have questions about this process or believe proper procedures were not followed may consider reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization or the Authority itself for guidance.
