Ending an Alabama tenancy

A periodic tenancy ends with written notice from either side. For month-to-month, the notice must be given at least 30 days before the periodic rental date named in it (§35-9A-441).

  • Nonpayment of rent — Written notice stating the rent and late fees owed; the lease terminates if the tenant doesn’t pay within 7 business days after receiving it (§35-9A-421(b)).
  • Other material breaches — A written notice gives the tenant 7 business days to cure. Certain breaches — including illegal drug activity, illegal firearm use and criminal assault — can’t be cured, and the same breach can’t be cured more than twice in 12 months without the landlord’s consent (§35-9A-421(a), (d)).
  • Holdover — A tenant who willfully holds over in bad faith can be made to pay up to the greater of three months’ rent or actual damages, plus reasonable attorney’s fees (§35-9A-441(c)).
