Actually I don't know if you retyped or got yours from another state or what happen.
Here is the link to the government website link: http://attorneygeneral.delaware.gov/consumers/protection/brochure/landlordcode.pdf

It states: Security Deposit 5514 subsection b
How the security deposit must be treated.
i. Where located.
A security deposit must be held in a federally insured bank with an office within the State of Delaware. The account must be called a security deposit account and cannot be used in the operation of the business of the landlord.
The landlord must disclose to the tenant the location of the security deposit account. If the landlord fails to disclose the location of the security deposit account within twenty (20) days of the receipt of a written request, the landlord must return the security deposit to the tenant. If the landlord fails to return the security deposit to the tenant within an additional twenty (20) days, the tenant is entitled to receive double the amount of the security deposit from the landlord.

AND you are right. The main is issue is it worth suing a druggie landlord.

David,
Make sure you have the current LL/Tenant Code. In Delaware it changed somewhere around 2008(ish). I had the wrong one when I started renting. Some things have changed. I'm away on business right and don't have the latest one in front of me.
