Alabama Eviction Notice

Before a landlord can file an eviction case in Alabama, the tenant must receive a written notice that states what is wrong and how long they have to fix it or move out. In Alabama, a landlord must generally give 7 days' notice to pay rent or quit under Ala. Code 35-9A-421(b).

This template generates a Alabama eviction notice for nonpayment of rent, a lease violation, or the end of the tenancy. You set the notice period so the document matches the current Alabama requirement for your situation.
