Alabama Lease Agreement with ezSign

Our Lease Builder Wizard is the efficient and economical tool you need to ensure that your agreements are comprehensive and in compliance with Alabama Landlord-Tenant laws.

Alabama might be more Landlord and investor-friendly than many other states when it comes to rental regulations; nevertheless, there are restrictions that Landlords and property managers must know. For instance, Landlords may not charge Tenants a security deposit and the last month’s rent in advance. Also, the returned check fee may not exceed $30.

Applying those rules, and other state laws, is easy using this Alabama-specific Lease agreement. Simply enter the property address, and our system will automatically add the legally required terms. At each step in the form, look for green, Alabama Assist text boxes that explain what must be done and why.Also provided in this agreement package are federally mandated Addenda and Disclosure forms that address such issues as lead paint and Section 8 tenancy.
