Right to cure / redeem in Delaware

Yes. Paying all rent due before the landlord files stops an eviction for nonpayment, and paying all rent due after the case is filed means the landlord cannot continue that case. Lease-rule violations get at least 7 days to fix. Code text: "pays all rent due under the terms of the lease after the landlord has initiated an action for nonpayment or late payment of rent against the tenant, then the landlord may not maintain that action based upon such failure to pay past due rent."
