Eviction notices for other grounds (lease violation, no-fault) in Delaware

For a breach of a material rule or lease term, the landlord must notify the tenant in writing and allow at least 7 days to fix it before ending the lease. A similar breach within a year can be grounds for eviction based on that same notice. Code text: "the landlord shall notify the tenant of such breach in writing, and shall allow at least 7 days after such notice for remedy or correction of the breach."
