Operative Text
(1) Corrections shall be completed within the specified period of time, normally twenty (20) days after receipt, or written justification must be provided to the Commission nolater than the specified completion date. The Administrator may approve a writtenrequest for an extension of time. (2) When corrections or repairs of defects are completed, the responsible member of theindustry shall forward to the Commission a signed letter or memorandum along withdocumentation certifying corrections have been made. (3) Once the Commission receives documentation indicating corrections have beencompleted, the homeowner will be contacted for verification. If there is still aconflict, the Commission will schedule an on-site inspection to resolve the dispute;then the file may be closed. The responsible party may be required to pay theCommission’s expenses for the inspection.
Under Ala. Admin. Code r. 535-X-18 § 535-X-18-.06, when defects are identified and a correction period is set, the responsible industry member generally has twenty days from receipt of notice to complete those corrections. If corrections cannot be finished in time, written justification must be submitted to the Commission by the deadline, and a written extension request may be approved by the Administrator. Once corrections are certified as complete, the Commission may contact the homeowner to verify, and if a dispute remains, an on-site inspection can be scheduled—with the responsible party potentially bearing the cost of that inspection.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property managers and other responsible industry members operating under Ala. Admin. Code r. 535-X-18 § 535-X-18-.06 generally track correction deadlines carefully, submitting written justification or extension requests before the specified completion date if more time is needed. Upon finishing required repairs, compliant operators send the Commission a signed letter or memorandum accompanied by documentation certifying that corrections have been made. Because the Commission may contact the homeowner to verify completion and could schedule a paid on-site inspection if a conflict arises, maintaining thorough records of all repair work is a common practice among operators in this space.

Ala. Admin. Code r. 535-X-18 § 535-X-18-.06 establishes a process through which the Commission verifies that corrections or repairs have actually been completed to the homeowner's satisfaction. After the responsible industry member certifies completion, the Commission may reach out to the homeowner directly for confirmation, and if a dispute persists, an on-site inspection can be arranged to resolve it. Homeowners who believe corrections remain incomplete may communicate that concern to the Commission as part of this verification process; tenant-rights organizations or housing counselors can help individuals understand how to engage with the Commission's dispute resolution steps.
