Answer:
In Alabama, if there is no written rental agreement, the law considers it a tenancy at will. This means either party can terminate the tenancy with a written notice. For a tenancy at will, a landlord must provide a 10-day written notice to terminate the lease (Ala. Code § 35-9-3).
Since you received a two-week eviction notice, this exceeds the minimum requirement of 10 days. Therefore, you have until the end of the notice period to move out. If you do not vacate the premises, the landlord may take further legal action to recover possession.
