Signing history
Signatures record the names asserted by the people using each private link. They do not independently verify identity.
An Alabama rental lease you can fill, print or sign online
Prepare an agreement for an ordinary Alabama house, condo, duplex or apartment. Enter the address, landlord and tenants, lease dates, rent, deposit and responsibilities. Review the property disclosures before signing. Special housing, including subsidized rentals, requires additional review and program documents.
Choose how to use your lease
- Download a free blank form. Fill it in with a compatible PDF reader or print it for handwriting. The blank form has three tenant spaces, a large landlord signature area and a conditional lead disclosure with the EPA pamphlet.
- Fill online, then print and sign. Download your draft with your information, identified attachments, initials lines and signature boxes. Review the complete packet before signing in person.
- Sign online. Add up to six tenants. Lock the completed agreement and send each tenant their own link and PIN. Tenants review the documents, initial the selected sections and draw their signatures. The landlord signs after all tenants. Everyone can download the completed PDF.
Security deposits and move-in payments
Alabama ordinarily limits security to one month of periodic rent. Ala. Code § 35-9A-201 allows exceptions for pets, changes to the premises and increased liability risks. This tool uses the ordinary combined one-month limit; it does not calculate exception deposits. First rent and refundable security are listed separately to avoid counting rent twice. The statute provides a 60-day refund and itemization period after termination and delivery of possession. Supply a forwarding address in writing. See Alabama’s security-deposit statute.
Contacts, repairs and entry
The lease identifies the manager and the owner or agent who receives process, notices and demands. Keep those names and business addresses current. Record a clear repair contact and the payment responsibilities for utilities. Alabama’s maintenance and access rules apply even when the parties customize their lease. For ordinary entry, the statute uses at least two days’ notice, with exceptions and consent rules for situations such as emergencies and requested repairs. Review § 35-9A-202, § 35-9A-204 and § 35-9A-303.
Disclosures belong with the agreement
For a home built before 1978, the tool includes the EPA lead pamphlet and asks for known information, available reports and any agent acknowledgment. Attach the reports and other applicable documents before creating links. The exact packet is retained for every signer. The EPA disclosure guidance explains the information to provide before a tenant becomes obligated.
Returning, sharing and keeping your records
Save the landlord’s private link and PIN before leaving. No account is required. Use the individual copy buttons to send invitations manually; email and supported mobile text options open your own apps for you to review and send. The website does not send those messages. After everyone signs, download the PDF and remind each tenant to save a copy. Deletion removes application-managed online records; hosting backups follow the provider’s policy. Keep required records, including signed lead disclosures for at least three years from the start of the leasing period.
Common questions
Does the signing deadline end an existing tenancy?
No. It limits the invitation to sign this document. Termination of an existing tenancy requires the applicable legal grounds, notice and process. A completed agreement does not expire when its invitation deadline passes.
Can I change the words in the agreement?
Yes, before sending, use the pencil controls to edit the title and clauses. Review changes carefully. Prohibited waivers and liability provisions are not made enforceable by a signature. See § 35-9A-163.
Can I prepare another lease for a different home?
Yes. Save the current agreement’s return link first, then choose Create another lease. You can keep your landlord contact information while entering a different property and tenants.
