Delaware Landlord Bundle: 3 Kits in One Download (Delaware Landlord Kit, Delaware Small Claims Kit, Eviction Case File Organizer)

Who it is for

Landlords and property managers with rentals in Delaware: the state's rules, a small claims case for unpaid rent or damage, and an eviction case file if it comes to that.

Not the right fit if

Your rentals aren't in Delaware, or you only need one of the kits. Not a property management or legal service.

Why it is different

• 3 kits for 30% less than buying them one by one; each keeps its own folder in the download.
