25 Del. C. ch. 70 § 7047
Landlord disclosure obligations
Operative Text
All landlords must provide the following information to DEMHRA by May 1, 2025, and thereafter all landlords must provide the following information to DEMHRA within 60 days of taking ownership, possession, or control of a manufactured housing community: (1) The name, address, and telephone number of the manager or other local representative of the manufactured home community. (2) The name, address, and telephone number of the owner of the manufactured home community. (3) If the manufactured home community is owned by a corporate entity, the name, address, and telephone number of a corporate representative for that corporate entity.
Under 25 Del. C. ch. 70 § 7047, Delaware law requires that anyone who owns or controls a manufactured housing community disclose specific contact information to the Delaware Manufactured Home Relocation Authority (DEMHRA). This includes identifying the community's on-site manager or local representative, the owner, and—if the owner is a corporation—a designated corporate representative. The initial deadline for existing landlords was May 1, 2025, and any landlord who subsequently acquires ownership, possession, or control of a community must submit this information within 60 days of that transition.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of manufactured housing communities in Delaware are generally expected to maintain current, accurate contact records on file with DEMHRA as required by 25 Del. C. ch. 70 § 7047. Compliant operators typically track the 60-day window that begins when they take ownership, possession, or control of a community, and they ensure that the names, addresses, and telephone numbers of the manager, owner, and any applicable corporate representative are submitted before that window closes. When management or ownership changes occur, updating DEMHRA promptly is part of standard compliance practice under this provision.

Section 7047 of Title 25 of the Delaware Code creates a public accountability mechanism by requiring landlords to register key contact information with DEMHRA, which can help residents identify who is responsible for managing or owning their community. If a tenant believes a landlord has failed to comply with this disclosure requirement, they may consider contacting DEMHRA directly to inquire about the community's registration status. Tenant-rights organizations in Delaware can also help residents understand what remedies or complaint processes may be available when a landlord does not meet the obligations set out in 25 Del. C. ch. 70 § 7047.
