Commercial evictions in Alabama follow a general set of steps after a tenant defaults and the landlord seeks to regain possession of the property or initiate a process that encourages the tenant to pay the outstanding rent or cure other defaults in the lease. Until 2006, commercial evictions and residential evictions followed a similar path for evictions. That year, Alabama adopted a version of the Uniform Residential Landlord Tenant Act, which now controls the steps to be taken in a residential eviction. (Ala. Code s 35-9A-101 et seq.). In addition, because residential rent is a consumer debt, provisions such as the FDCPA apply, which do not in a commercial setting. As such, this discussion will focus exclusively on commercial evictions, and any information related to residential evictions should be sought from other sources.
