Section 35-9-88 of the Alabama Code (Ala.

Any rules or standards that may have been established under § 35-9-88 ceased to apply upon that effective date.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers operating in Alabama should be aware that § 35-9-88, which once addressed fees under the landlord-tenant code, was repealed by Act 2006-316 and has had no legal effect since January 1, 2007. Compliant operators look to the current, active provisions of Alabama's landlord-tenant law rather than this repealed section when structuring fee-related policies. Consulting the updated Alabama Code and current state guidance helps ensure that fee practices align with provisions that remain in force.
