Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a written lease agreement in Alabama?
While oral agreements may be enforceable for short-term leases, Alabama law strongly favors written lease agreements. A written lease protects both landlord and tenant by clearly documenting terms, responsibilities, and required disclosures under the Alabama Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act. Alabama requires landlords to include specific disclosures such as Lead-based paint (pre-1978, federal) and Landlord name and address (Ala. Code § 35-9A-202), which must be in writing.
What are Alabama's security deposit rules?
In Alabama, there is no statutory limit on security deposits. Landlords must return the deposit within 60 days after the tenancy ends. Interest on security deposits is not required. Deductions must be itemized in writing.

Does Alabama have a Residential Landlord and Tenant Act?
Alabama has a Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act (URLTA) that applies in counties with populations over 300,000 (including Jefferson, Mobile, and Madison counties). In counties not covered by the URLTA, common law applies - which provides fewer explicit tenant protections. The URLTA requires maintaining habitable premises, 2 days notice before entry, and deposit return within 60 days. Alabama has no rent control.
