Alabama 7-Day Notice to Quit | Non-Compliance

An Alabama 7-day notice to comply or quit is provided by a landlord when a tenant has committed a material violation. The landlord must provide seven business days to cure the issue. If it's the same violation within 6 months or the tenant's 2nd violation in previous 12 months, the landlord can terminate the lease.

2 Types of Notices

  1. Option to Cure – For first-time offenders, the landlord must give the tenant seven business days to cure a standard lease violation or vacate the property.[1]
  2. No Option to Cure – A landlord can terminate a lease for any of the following events:
    • 2nd violation of a lease within a 12-month period;[2]
    • 2nd violation of a lease involving the same acts or omissions within a 6-month period;[3]
    • Possession of illegal drugs;[4]
    • Discharging a firearm on the property unless it is used for self-defense;[5]
    • Criminal assault of a tenant or a guest on the property unless it is done for self-defense;[6]

Affecting the Health and Safety

If there is noncompliance that affects the health and safety of the property and can be fixed by repair, replacement, or cleaning, and the tenant fails to remedy the issue (as required in a case of emergency or within 7 days), the landlord can enter the property and handle it themselves.

If the landlord remedies the issue, they can submit an itemized bill to the tenant that is due and payable with the next month’s rent payment.[7]
