Under Ala. Code § 35-9A-303 an Alabama landlord must give the tenant at least two days' notice and enter only at reasonable times for legitimate purposes such as repairs, inspection, or showings. No notice is required in a genuine emergency or by court order.
Ala. Code § 35-9A-303 lets a landlord enter to inspect, make repairs or improvements, supply services, or show the unit to buyers, lenders, tenants, workmen, or contractors; the tenant "shall not unreasonably withhold consent." The landlord "may show the premises at any reasonable time by giving the tenant at least two days' notice of the landlord's intent to enter and may enter only at reasonable times." Posting a note on the primary entry door stating the time and purpose is a permitted method of notice. A landlord may enter without notice or consent only in an emergency, with tenant consent to shorter notice, or by court order.
If a landlord makes unlawful entry or repeated demands for entry that harass the tenant, the tenant may obtain injunctive relief, recover actual damages not less than an amount equal to one month's rent, plus reasonable attorney's fees under Ala. Code § 35-9A-407.
