How screening varies in Delaware
There is no universal "felony-friendly" certification. Screening policies differ by property and management company. This page does not make claims about state or local law; confirm a property’s current requirements directly before applying.
Delaware resources
NEW CASTLE COUNTY INCLUSIONARY RENTALS — https://www.newcastlede.gov/2137/Available-RENTAL-Homes (raw county article reviewed September 29, 2026). This is New Castle County's inclusionary-rental directory, not a New Castle County Housing Authority ownership or vacancy list.
New Castle County says renting these units is a two-part process: its application checks income qualification and each landlord's own application considers credit and other criteria; the landlord approves the tenant. Contact the landlord directly for its requirements and actual availability. The county says rents may change. Neither the county list nor the manager links establish conviction-screening approval.
County income application: https://www.newcastlede.gov/DocumentCenter/View/42296/Application-for-Rent. Linked Premier Realty says its workforce rentals need BOTH the county workforce application and Premier's standard rental application: https://www.premierrealtyde.com/workforce-housing-rentals/.
Bayberry North: County directory: townhomes, twin homes and detached homes; listed starting rents $2,100+ for a three-bedroom townhouse through $2,750+ for a four-bedroom detached house; 120% area median income (AMI) band. Contact Premier Realty, 302-633-6970. A dated county monitoring report places the development in Middletown, but neither source establishes a single entrance for its dispersed homes.
The linked manager page has changing individual listings; its unit URLs do not reliably match the address in the listing body. These are directory claims reviewed September 29, 2026, not confirmation of an available income-restricted unit. Ask the manager for current rent, application and written criminal-history criteria.
Darley Green: County directory: one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments; listed starting rents $1,630+ for one bedroom to $2,040+ for three bedrooms; 80% AMI band. Contact Darley Green, 302-385-2200. The linked operator calls the property The Reserve at Darley Green and identifies 700 Darley Green Drive, Claymont, DE 19703 as its community contact address; this is not a specific available unit.
These are directory claims reviewed September 29, 2026, not confirmation of an available income-restricted unit. Ask the manager for current rent, application and written criminal-history criteria.
Emblem at Christiana: County directory: one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments; listed starting rents $1,820+ for one bedroom to $2,230+ for three bedrooms; 80% and 120% AMI bands. The county gives 302-404-6280; the operator's contact page separately gives 302-206-7428 and identifies 1150 Helen Drive, Newark, DE 19702 as its community address.
Confirm which phone and restricted units are current; broader market-rate availability does not establish an inclusionary-unit opening. These are directory claims reviewed September 29, 2026, not confirmation of an available income-restricted unit. Ask the manager for current rent, application and written criminal-history criteria.
Overlook at Bayberry: County directory: townhomes and detached homes in Middletown off Jamison Corner and Boyds Corner Roads; listed starting rents $1,990+ for three-bedroom townhouses and $2,070+ for four-bedroom detached homes; 75% AMI band. Contact Premier Realty, 302-633-6970. The crossroads are a community area, not a dwelling address. Do not confuse this rental program with the builder's homes for purchase.
These are directory claims reviewed September 29, 2026, not confirmation of an available income-restricted unit. Ask the manager for current rent, application and written criminal-history criteria.
Reserve at Becks Pond: County directory: one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments; listed starting rents $1,820+ for one bedroom to $2,240+ for three bedrooms; 80% and 120% AMI bands. Contact Becks Pond, 302-838-1300. Its linked operator identifies 10 McFarland Drive, Newark, DE 19702 as its community contact address, not an available unit.
These are directory claims reviewed September 29, 2026, not confirmation of an available income-restricted unit. Ask the manager for current rent, application and written criminal-history criteria.
Valley Grove (MPDU): County directory: townhomes and twin homes in Hockessin off Valley Road; listed starting rent $1,990+ for a three-bedroom townhouse; 75% AMI band. Contact Premier Realty, 302-633-6970. Valley Road is an area reference, not a confirmed residential entrance; the builder's sales-office and GPS addresses are not rental-unit addresses.
These are directory claims reviewed September 29, 2026, not confirmation of an available income-restricted unit. Ask the manager for current rent, application and written criminal-history criteria.
Preserve at Robinson Farm: county lists on-site and off-site townhomes and 55+ ranch homes, starting rent $2,080+ at the 80% AMI band, but explicitly says “NOTHING AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME.” The off-site rentals have no distinct locations or contact in the current row. Do not use a for-sale community address as a rental entrance.
Westhampton (OFF-SITE): county describes three-bedroom rental houses, usually townhomes, at Bear, Pike Creek and other locations, starting at $2,000+ in the 120% AMI band. Premier Realty, 302-633-6970. It gives no dwelling address or one unambiguous city; do not pin this portfolio to the Westhampton sales office.
Wilshire Meadows: county describes two-bedroom, one-bath rentals in the 80% AMI band but explicitly says “CURRENTLY OCCUPIED.” Contact Wilshire, LLC at 302-838-0631 for later availability. No usable residence address or current rent is supplied; unrelated similarly named home-sale sites are not this rental lead.
A practical next step
Preparing your application
A little preparation can help you ask better questions before paying an application fee.
- Gather proof of income (recent pay stubs, an offer letter, or bank statements).
- Collect positive references from prior landlords or employers where possible.
- Prepare a brief, honest explanation letter that provides context for your record.
- Ask each property directly about its reported screening policy before paying any application fee.
- Confirm the lookback period and which offense types a property may consider.

Frequently asked questions
What do the screening and verification statuses mean on Delaware listings?
A listing's screening status describes the policy reported for that property, while its verification status describes the status of that information. Check both, along with any verification date, and contact the property directly because policies can change.
Are all Delaware listings verified?
No. Unverified records may be publicly visible. Each listing displays its verification status, and a verification date appears when one is available.
Does a listing in Delaware guarantee approval?
No. A listing is not a promise of acceptance. Screening policies and decisions are made by each property; contact it directly to confirm its current requirements before applying.
