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Delaware's outdated property assessments mean effective tax rates may not reflect current market values.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.
