Alabama landlord tenant law had its origins in the Middle Ages in England. The advantage was that everyone know the rules, but the rules did not fit modern society and its needs. In addition, the vast majority of the rules were one-sided, favoring the landlord in virtually every instance but one. That one exception was an eviction proceeding. Smart tenants who knew how to work the system could delay an eviction up to 18 months, while the poor landlord received no rent in the meantime. Large landlords might have been able to weather the loss of income, but many small investors had to take huge losses. On January 1, 2007, all that changed when the Alabama Residential Landlord Tenant Act became effective. New rules on almost every aspect of the landlord tenant relationship can have disastrous consequences for those who do not follow them. Learn what you can, and what you cannot, do in the modern Alabama landlord tenant environment.
