Operative Text
Repealed by Act 2006-316, p. 668, §3, effective January 1, 2007.
Section 35-9-81 of the Alabama Code, which previously governed the issuance of writs or process under the older landlord-tenant statutory framework (Ala. Code §§ 35-9-1 to 35-9-100), was formally repealed by Act 2006-316, effective January 1, 2007.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 repeal was part of a broader legislative overhaul of Alabama's residential landlord-tenant law.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Because § 35-9-81 was repealed by Act 2006-316 effective January 1, 2007, property owners and managers operating in Alabama should be aware that this section no longer governs any aspect of writ or process issuance. Compliant operators generally look to the current Alabama Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act and other applicable statutes that replaced the older §§ 35-9-1 to 35-9-100 framework. Consulting the updated statutory scheme ensures that eviction and legal process procedures are followed under the law currently in effect.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 35-9-81, once part of the Alabama landlord-tenant code under §§ 35-9-1 to 35-9-100, was repealed effective January 1, 2007, and no longer provides rights or obligations for either party. Tenants in Alabama should be aware that the legal framework governing their rental relationship is found in the statutes that replaced this older scheme. Tenant-rights organizations and legal aid resources can help identify which current provisions apply to a given rental situation.
