Alabama  Security Deposits

 Other States

Alabama has enacted its first comprehensive set of landlord-tenant statutes, which took effect on January 1, 2007.

The law is known as the Alabama Uniform Landlord Tenant Act.

The new law states that One month’s rent is the most security a landlord may require.

The Alabama Security Deposit Limit does not include pet deposits, deposits to cover tenant’s alterations, and deposits to cover tenant activities that pose "increased liability risks".  This is where a credit report may come into play.

The landlord has 21 days to return the security deposit. They MUST be notified of the tenant new mailing address.

If the landlord fails to return the security deposit and is found at fault, they must pay DOUBLE the amount that would of had to be refunded, plus reasonable attorney fees.

Be sure to see our guide on Normal Wear and Tear. When you move in, be sure to review the unit with your landlord or their agent.
