A 60 Day Notice to Terminate Tenancy is required for month-to-month rental agreements and tenancy-at-will arrangements to give ample time for the residents to surrender the premises and move their belongings. While this notice is designed for landlords, tenants are obligated to give 60 days notice too unless they qualify for a 30 day exception military service, being a victim of domestic abuse, requiring an assisted living facility or experiencing employment relocation of more than 30 miles away.

What Does Delaware Law Say?

The notice shall indicate that the agreement shall terminate upon its expiration date. A tenant may terminate a rental agreement by giving a minimum of 60 days’ written notice prior to the expiration of the term of the rental agreement that the agreement shall terminate upon its expiration date.

(d) Where the term of the rental agreement is month-to-month, the landlord or tenant may terminate the rental agreement by giving the other party a minimum of 60 days’ written notice, which 60-day period shall begin on the first day of the month following the day of actual notice.
