Which type of housing is exempt from the Delaware Landlord Tenant Code?

Nursing homes are exempt from the Delaware Landlord Tenant Code primarily because they are not considered conventional rental housing. The Landlord Tenant Code is designed to regulate the rental agreements between landlords and tenants, focusing on typical residential leases. However, nursing homes operate under different legal standards due to their nature of providing healthcare services and care for residents, which involves unique factors that go beyond simple rental agreements.

In the case of nursing homes, residents often enter into agreements that encompass not just housing but also various levels of support, assistance, and healthcare services. These agreements are influenced by healthcare regulations and standards rather than traditional landlord-tenant relationships, which is why they fall outside the protections and rules provided by the Delaware Landlord Tenant Code.

The other types of housing mentioned, such as single-family homes, apartment complexes, and multi-family residences, typically involve standard rental agreements that the Landlord Tenant Code governs, giving tenants specific rights and landlords certain obligations within those relationships.
