Delaware Subletting & assignment

Can a tenant sublet an apartment in Delaware?

Unless the lease says otherwise, a tenant may sublet or assign. A lease may restrict or bar assignment, and may require the landlord's consent to sublet, but that consent can't be unreasonably withheld (the landlord must show reasonableness).
