Delaware CAM Reconciliation Compliance Guide for Landlords
Statutory requirements, tenant audit rights, and landlord obligations for commercial CAM reconciliation in Delaware.
Primary Statute
Del. Code tit. 25, § 5101 et seq. (Residential Landlord-Tenant Code); commercial governed by general contract law
Key Takeaway for Landlords
Delaware's outdated property assessments mean effective tax rates may not reflect current market values. No sales tax provides a minor but real cost advantage for maintenance and capital expenditures passed through CAM.
Reconciliation Timing Requirements
No statutory deadline for commercial CAM reconciliation.
Tenant Audit Rights
No statutory commercial tenant audit rights.
Required Disclosures
No statutory commercial CAM disclosure requirements.
Penalty Provisions
No CAM-specific penalties for commercial leases.
Regulatory Body
Delaware Real Estate Commission
Delaware CAM Context
Delaware has no sales tax, reducing CAM costs for maintenance supplies and services. Property assessments in many counties have not been updated in decades, creating significant gaps between assessed and market values. Wilmington and the I-95 corridor are the primary commercial markets.
