FAQs

In Alabama, the notice period for eviction depends on the type of lease violation. If a tenant receives a notice to quit for a lease breach, they typically have ten days to vacate the premises. However, if the eviction is due to non-payment of rent, the landlord can initiate eviction proceedings after a seven-day notice. Therefore, tenants do not have a standard 30 days after an eviction notice unless specified in the lease agreement. Always check the specific terms of your lease for details.
