The Alabama lease agreement is the most common type of lease form and can be used for leasing rental property over a fixed period. For &quot;tenancies at will&quot; that can be terminated at any time by the landlord or the tenant, you should use the Alabama rental agreement instead. Other similar forms include the Alabama Residential Lease and the Alabama Apartment Lease.

So of course it is always a good idea to clearly specify the terms of your tenancy agreement in a written contract to work in your favor, but it is equally just as important to make sure your lease contract abides by the tenant laws in Alabama. Many Alabama property management companies have gone through the eviction process in Alabama and would agree that a well written tenancy agreement is the best way to protect yourself from future headaches in court (see Alabama Eviction Notice).

A written lease contract may explicitly state different terms, but only as long as they do not conflict with Alabama law. For example, the notice period can be increased to 90 days to benefit both parties (tenant would have 90 days to find a new place after receiving the Alabama Notice to Vacate and landlord would have 90 days to find a new replacement tenant after receiving notice) - but it cannot be decreased beyond the minimum required by state law. So even if both parties agreed to change the notice period to 1 week (which would allow the tenant to move faster and the landlord to raise the rent faster, etc...),  these terms will not be enforced in court because they conflict with Alabama tenant rights. <\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding-top:10px;\" colspan=\"2\">\n<h5><strong>Alabama Leases<\/strong> - What should I do next?<\/h5>\n<p>The process of leasing your property begins with getting your prospective tenants to fill out the Alabama rental application. Once you have conducted a <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/trexglobal.mysmartmove.com\/\">background check<\/a> and decided on the tenant, then you are ready to sign a lease contract. If you need help managing your leases or tracking rental payments, you should consider using property management software to make things easy. In addition generating monthly owner statements and collecting rent online, many property managers in Alabama use Simplify'em for property management because it makes it easy to maintain a tenant payment history and stay on top of rent balances. If a tenant ever violates the lease agreement by not paying rent on time, you should use the Alabama Notice to Quit to inform the tenant to quit the lease and vacate the premises if they cannot remedy the issue within the specified time period.<\/p>\n<p>Get started now!
