Alabama Parking & Storage Addendum

This Parking & Storage Addendum is built with Alabama as the governing state. These are the Alabama landlord-tenant rules that most often bear on it, with the statute for each.

Alabama rules at a glance

Alabama rules for a Parking & Storage Addendum
Late feesNo statutory cap or grace period; set by the lease
Late fees in the noticeSince the 2018 amendments, a nonpayment notice must state the amount of rent and any late fees owed to cure the breach (§35-9A-421(b)) — so the fee needs to be spelled out in the lease to be collectible this way.
Landlord entryAt least 2 days’ notice, at reasonable times (posting on the door counts)Ala. Code §35-9A-303

Rent, late fees & rent increases

Alabama has no statute capping late fees or requiring a grace period, so the lease controls. Because courts can refuse to enforce a charge that works as a penalty rather than a reasonable estimate of the landlord’s loss, the fee should be stated in the lease and kept proportionate.

  • Late fees in the notice — Since the 2018 amendments, a nonpayment notice must state the amount of rent and any late fees owed to cure the breach (§35-9A-421(b)) — so the fee needs to be spelled out in the lease to be collectible this way.
  • Rent increases — Alabama sets no separate rent-increase notice period. A fixed-term lease can’t be changed mid-term without agreement; for a month-to-month tenancy, an increase should be given at least the 30 days required to end the tenancy (§35-9A-441).
  • Rent control — Cities and counties are barred from adopting any ordinance that controls the amount of rent on private property (§11-80-8.1), so there’s no statutory cap on the size of an increase.

Landlord entry & access

Alabama requires at least two days’ notice before a landlord enters, and entry must be at reasonable times (§35-9A-303) — longer than the 24 hours common in many states. Posting a note on the primary entry door satisfies the notice requirement.

No notice is needed in an emergency, under a court order, or once the tenant has abandoned or surrendered the unit. When the tenant asks for a repair or maintenance, the request itself counts as consent to enter for that work. The tenant can’t unreasonably refuse lawful entry, and the landlord can’t abuse the right of access to harass the tenant.

Alabama Parking & Storage Addendum FAQs

Is there a limit on late fees in Alabama?

No. Alabama has no statutory late-fee cap or mandatory grace period — the amount is whatever the lease specifies, though an excessive fee risks being struck as a penalty. The fee should be written into the lease, since a nonpayment notice must state the rent and late fees owed (§35-9A-421(b)).
