6 Del. C. ch. 46 § 4616
The Commission may make rules and regulations (including rules for the collection, maintenance and analysis of appropriate data) to carry out this chapter.

Plain English

Section 4616 of Delaware's residential landlord-tenant law (6 Del. C. ch. 46) grants the Commission authority to create rules and regulations needed to put the chapter's requirements into practice, including rules about gathering and analyzing relevant data. Before any such rules take effect, the Commission must follow the state's Administrative Procedures Act by giving the public advance notice and a chance to comment. This procedural requirement ensures that affected parties—tenants, landlords, and others—have a voice before new regulatory rules are finalized.

For Property Managers

Under § 4616 of 6 Del. C. ch. 46, the Commission has the power to issue implementing regulations that may directly affect how landlords operate, report data, or comply with the chapter's requirements. Operators who stay informed about Commission rulemaking proceedings—including public comment periods held under the Administrative Procedures Act—are generally better positioned to understand upcoming obligations. Monitoring official public notices from the Commission is a common practice among property managers who want to anticipate regulatory changes before they take effect.

For Tenants

Section 4616 of 6 Del. C. ch. 46 establishes that the Commission must provide public notice and accept comments before finalizing any rules under this chapter, giving tenants a formal opportunity to weigh in on regulations that may affect their housing. Tenant-rights organizations often track these rulemaking proceedings and can help individuals understand how proposed rules might affect their rights. Participating in public comment periods or consulting a local tenant advocacy group are among the ways renters can engage with the process created by this provision.
