Ala. Code §§ 35-9-1 to 35-9-100 § 35-9-82
Service of Writ or Process.
Operative Text
Repealed by Act 2006-316, p. 668, §3, effective January 1, 2007.
Section 35-9-82 of the Alabama Code, which previously addressed the service of writ or process under the older landlord-tenant framework, was formally repealed by Act 2006-316 effective January 1, 2007. As a result, this provision no longer carries any legal force or effect. The subject matter it once governed is now addressed, if at all, under the updated Alabama landlord-tenant statutes that replaced the prior framework.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers in Alabama should be aware that § 35-9-82 was repealed effective January 1, 2007, and no longer governs any aspect of landlord-tenant operations. Compliant operators look to the current Alabama Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act and other applicable statutes for guidance on procedural matters such as service of process. Relying on this repealed section for any operational or legal purpose would not reflect current Alabama law.
