Breaking Lease In Alabama
Summary
In Alabama, tenants must provide a 30-day written notice to break a lease. If the lease states Tenants are responsible for all utilities unless otherwise noted, tenants are generally required to maintain utilities for the entire lease term. Ungrounded electrical outlets may violate the warranty of habitability, allowing lease termination if not repaired within 14 days. Landlords must provide a lead-based paint disclosure for properties built before 1978; failure to do so may permit lease termination. Consider seeking legal advice for personalized guidance.Full Conversation
