Alabama has no statewide cap on security deposits for most rentals, but landlords must return deposits within 60 days of move-out with an itemized statement if withholding.
Notice and termination
Month-to-month tenancies typically require 30 days' written notice from either party unless the lease specifies otherwise.
Disclosures landlords often include
Lead-based paint disclosure is required for pre-1978 housing. Document property condition at move-in.
Local tip for Alabama rentals
Landlords should spell out late fees, utility responsibilities, and maintenance request procedures in writing.
Common questions
Is a written lease required in Alabama?
Oral leases can exist but are hard to enforce. A written agreement is strongly recommended for any term over a few weeks.
Can I customize the Alabama lease before downloading?
Yes — edit parties, rent, deposit, pets, utilities, and custom clauses in the browser. Preview the full PDF before you pay once to download.
Is this legal advice?
No — RentLedger provides document tools, not legal services. Have a Alabama attorney review your lease for your property and city rules.
Not legal advice — confirm Alabama landlord-tenant rules with a local attorney before serving notices or filing in court.
