The Alabama rental application allows landlords to verify a prospective tenant's background information and credit history before signing a lease agreement. In Alabama, there is no maximum application fee; landlords may charge as much as they think is fair. The application fee is non-refundable.
In Alabama, the security deposit for approved tenants may not exceed one (1) month’s rent, except in some circumstances, including pets, alterations to the exterior or interior of the property, and situations where there is an increase in liability to the landlord or premises.
