Ala. Code §§ 35-9-1 to 35-9-100 § 35-9-86
Judgment for Landlord.
Operative Text
Repealed by Act 2006-316, p. 668, §3, effective January 1, 2007.
Section 35-9-86 of the Alabama Code, which previously addressed judgment for landlord under the older residential landlord-tenant 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 Code §§ 35-9-1 to 35-9-100), was formally repealed by Act 2006-316 effective January 1, 2007.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 in Alabama. The repeal means that any rules formerly contained in § 35-9-86 are no longer operative law.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers operating in Alabama should be aware that § 35-9-86 was repealed by Act 2006-316 and has not governed landlord-tenant matters since January 1, 2007. Compliant operators generally look to the current Alabama Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act and other applicable statutes for guidance on judgment-related procedures. Relying on the repealed provisions of §§ 35-9-1 to 35-9-100 for operational decisions would not reflect current Alabama law.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Tenants in Alabama should know that § 35-9-86, once part of the older landlord-tenant code under §§ 35-9-1 to 35-9-100, was repealed effective January 1, 2007, by Act 2006-316 and no longer provides any rights or remedies. Current tenant protections and enforcement paths are found in Alabama's present landlord-tenant statutes rather than this repealed section. Tenant-rights organizations or legal aid services can help identify which current provisions apply to a given housing situation.
