Operative Text
Repealed by Act 2006-316, p. 668, §3, effective January 1, 2007.
Section 35-9-4 of the Alabama Code, which previously addressed the duration of tenancy and hiring of lodgings for an indefinite term when no termination date was specified, was formally repealed by Act 2006-316 effective January 1, 2007. As a result, this provision no longer carries any legal force or effect in Alabama. Any rules that may have been established under § 35-9-4 are no longer operative law.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers in Alabama should be aware that § 35-9-4 was repealed effective January 1, 2007, and no longer governs the duration or termination of tenancies with unspecified terms. Compliant operators generally look to other applicable Alabama statutes and the terms of their written lease agreements to determine notice and termination requirements. Consulting current Alabama landlord-tenant law is the appropriate starting point when addressing indefinite-term tenancy situations.

Rights and obligations related to tenancy duration and termination notice are now governed by other provisions of Alabama law and the specific terms of any rental agreement in place.
