A Delaware landlord may require a
pet deposit. Damage to the rental unit caused by an animal shall
first be deducted from the pet deposit. Where the pet deposit is
insufficient, such damages may be deducted from the security
deposit.
A landlord may require a pet deposit unless the pet is a duly certified
and trained support animal for a disabled person.
It is unlawful for the landlord to require a pet deposit in excess of one
month's rent, regardless of the duration of the rental agreement.
A tenant should follow the same procedures for return of a pet deposit as for
the return of a security deposit.
