Alabama Mobile Home Park Laws

Verified August 23, 2026 All Alabama topics →

Alabama has no manufactured-home community tenancy act, so a resident who owns the home and rents the lot has no statutory notice before a rent increase, no limit on how much or how often lot rent rises, no cause requirement before the tenancy ends, no closure notice and no right to be told the community is for sale.

The fallback is the general Alabama Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act, Code of Alabama Section 35-9A-101 and following, which plainly covers a manufactured home rented out as a home but whose definitions leave it unsettled whether a bare lot rented to a resident who owns the home sits inside it; where that act applies, a month-to-month tenancy ends on 30 days' written notice, a deposit may not exceed one month's rent and must be returned or itemized within 60 days, and unpaid rent or a material breach draws a notice with seven business days to put things right. The one set of rules written for these communities is Chapter 35-12A on abandoned manufactured dwellings, which tells a community owner how to notify the resident and any lienholder, store the home, sell it and apply the proceeds, and gives a lienholder that keeps paying the space rent up to 12 months to act. No state agency oversees lot tenancies: the Alabama Manufactured Housing Commission licenses manufacturers, retailers, installers and salespersons and enforces installation and construction standards, and disputes between a community owner and a resident are decided by the district and circuit courts.

A. Scope — who and what the act covers

Rule Alabama law Source
State agency with a role in park tenancies No state rule No state agency oversees lot tenancies in Alabama; a dispute between a community owner and a resident is decided by the courts. Rights and obligations declared by the general landlord-tenant act are enforceable by action, and eviction cases are heard by the district and circuit courts of the county where the property lies. The Alabama Manufactured Housing Commission regulates the industry rather than the tenancy: it licenses manufacturers, retailers, installers and salespersons of manufactured and modular homes and enforces installation and construction standards. Ala. Code § 35-9A-105 (b); Ala. Code § 35-9A-461 (b); Alabama Manufactured Housing Commission Administrative Code ch. 535-X-13 535-X-13-.01; Department of Examiners of Public Accounts, Sunset Report on the Alabama Manufactured Housing Commission (September 25, 2024) Profile — Purpose/Authority
Resident may sue under the act No state rule No act gives a lot resident a right to sue a community owner, because Alabama has no manufactured-home community tenancy act. Where the general landlord-tenant act reaches a tenancy, any right or obligation it declares is enforceable by action unless the provision declaring it says otherwise. The abandoned-manufactured-dwelling chapter assumes a resident may sue over a home sold under it, since it gives a community owner that complied in good faith a complete defense to such a claim. Ala. Code § 35-9A-105 (b); Ala. Code § 35-12A-12
Minimum park size for the act to apply (lots) No state rule No statute sets a community size at which special rules begin, because there is no act to switch on. The one community-specific chapter, on abandoned manufactured dwellings, reaches any individual or business that for consideration allows another individual to place a residential trailer, mobile home or manufactured dwelling on land it owns or leases, with no minimum number of spaces. Ala. Code § 35-12A-1 (2)
Other size thresholds that switch rules on No state rule No size threshold switches any rule on or off in Alabama. The abandoned-dwelling chapter applies whatever the size of the community, and no other lot-count line appears in the Code of Alabama. Ala. Code § 35-12A-1 (2)
Park-owned rental homes Ordinary landlord-tenant law applies Renting out the home itself, rather than the lot beneath it, falls under the general Alabama Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act. That act defines a dwelling unit as a structure or part of a structure, including a manufactured home, rented as a home, residence or sleeping place, so a community that rents out homes it owns is a landlord under it, with its deposit, maintenance, notice and eviction rules. Ala. Code § 35-9A-141 (4); Ala. Code § 35-9A-121
RVs and park-model homes No state rule Nothing in Alabama law says how a recreational vehicle or a park-model home is treated in a community, because no tenancy act defines the field. The abandoned-dwelling chapter does reach a residential trailer, which it groups with mobile homes and manufactured homes in its definition of a manufactured dwelling. The general landlord-tenant act excludes transient occupancy in a hotel, motel or lodgings and says nothing about recreational vehicles. Ala. Code § 35-12A-1 (3); Ala. Code § 35-9A-122 (4)
Local rent regulation of park lots Preempted — local governments may not regulate lot rents Cities, counties and other local governments may not regulate lot rents. A general provision of the Code of Alabama bars any local governmental unit, which it defines to include a county, city, town or municipality, from enacting, maintaining or enforcing an ordinance, resolution or rule that would have the effect of controlling the amount of rent charged for leasing private property, leaving untouched only property in which the local unit itself holds an interest. A rented community lot is private property leased for rent, so the bar reaches it. Separately, the general landlord-tenant act supersedes any county or municipal ordinance governing residential landlord and tenant relationships, whether adopted before or after January 1, 2007, while leaving building codes, health codes and other general laws in place. Ala. Code § 11-80-8.1 (b); Ala. Code § 35-9A-121

B. Lot rent, fees and utilities

Rule Alabama law Source
Notice before a lot-rent increase No state rule No statute sets a notice period before a lot-rent increase in Alabama. Rent is what the rental agreement provides, payable at the time and place agreed, and in the absence of agreement the resident pays the fair rental value. Where the general landlord-tenant act reaches the tenancy, either side may end a month-to-month tenancy on 30 days' written notice, which is the practical route to a different rent rather than a notice requirement for an increase. Ala. Code § 35-9A-161 (a), (b), (c); Ala. Code § 35-9A-441 (b)
How often rent may be raised No state rule No statute limits how often lot rent may be raised. Alabama sets no frequency limit, no first-year freeze and no waiting period between increases; the agreement governs. Ala. Code § 35-9A-161 (a)
Statewide limit on lot-rent increases No state rule Alabama sets no ceiling on lot-rent increases. No statute caps the amount, ties it to an index or limits it in any part of the state, and rent is left to the agreement; local governments may not supply a ceiling either, because state law bars any local ordinance that would have the effect of controlling the amount of rent charged for leasing private property. Ala. Code § 35-9A-161 (a); Ala. Code § 11-80-8.1 (b)
How a resident can challenge an increase No state rule There is no state route to challenge a lot-rent increase — no mediation, no petition and no agency review. A resident's recourse is the terms of the agreement and the ordinary courts, and rights the general landlord-tenant act declares are enforceable by action where that act applies. Ala. Code § 35-9A-105 (b); Ala. Code § 35-9A-161 (a)
Entrance fee prohibited No state rule No statute bars an entrance fee for a lot in a manufactured-home community. Nothing in the Code of Alabama addresses entry, hook-up or move-in charges, so they are a matter for the agreement. Ala. Code § 35-9A-161 (a)
Exit or removal fee prohibited No state rule No statute bars an exit or removal fee. The charge Alabama law does address is storage: once a home is treated as abandoned, the community owner may collect reasonable or actual storage charges and the costs of moving the home to storage. Ala. Code § 35-12A-6 (b); Ala. Code § 35-9A-161 (a)
Undisclosed fees uncollectible No state rule No statute makes an undisclosed charge uncollectible. The general landlord-tenant act requires a landlord to disclose in writing, at or before the tenancy begins, the name and business address of the person who manages the premises and of an owner or the owner's agent for notices and service of process, but it does not require a schedule of fees or bar collecting a charge that was never disclosed. Ala. Code § 35-9A-202 (a)
Utility billing rules No state rule No statute regulates how a community bills residents for utilities. Under the general landlord-tenant act the landlord is not responsible for paying utility services unless the lease says so, and where the landlord has agreed to supply heat, water, hot water, electricity, gas or another essential service it may not willfully or negligently fail to make it available after notice of the breach. Ala. Code § 35-9A-404 (a), (b)
Submetering required or regulated No state rule Nothing in Alabama law requires or regulates individual meters or submetered billing for lots. The general landlord-tenant act addresses who pays for utility service and the consequences of cutting it off, not how service is measured or billed on. Ala. Code § 35-9A-404 (a)
Lot security deposit rules No state rule No statute sets deposit rules for a lot tenancy. Where the general landlord-tenant act applies, a landlord may not take a deposit of more than one month's rent, apart from additional amounts for pets, changes to the premises or increased liability risk, and must deliver an itemized statement of anything kept, with the balance, within 60 days after the tenancy ends and possession is delivered; a landlord that misses the deadline owes double the deposit. Ala. Code § 35-9A-201 (a), (b), (c), (f)

C. Lease, rules and disclosure

Rule Alabama law Source
Written lease Not required No Alabama statute requires a written lease for a lot. The general landlord-tenant act treats a rental agreement as including oral agreements, and where the agreement fixes no definite term the tenancy is month-to-month, or week-to-week where rent is paid weekly. Ala. Code § 35-9A-141 (13); Ala. Code § 35-9A-161 (d)
Minimum lease term that must be offered No state rule No statute requires a community to offer a lease of any minimum length. Where no term is fixed the tenancy runs month to month by default, and an agreement given effect only by the parties' conduct is effective for at most one year even if it states a longer term. Ala. Code § 35-9A-161 (d); Ala. Code § 35-9A-162 (c)
Notice to end a tenancy without cause No state rule No statute sets the notice needed to end a lot tenancy without cause. Where the general landlord-tenant act reaches the tenancy, either side may end a month-to-month tenancy by written notice given at least 30 days before the periodic rental date named in the notice, and a week-to-week tenancy on seven days' notice; otherwise the lease and ordinary property law govern. Ala. Code § 35-9A-441 (a), (b)
Notice before park rules change No state rule No statute sets a notice period before community rules change. Under the general landlord-tenant act a rule binds a resident only if the resident had notice of it when the agreement was entered into or when it was adopted, a rule adopted later that works a substantial modification of the resident's use is not valid unless the resident consents in writing, and where a rule and the lease differ the lease prevails. Ala. Code § 35-9A-302 (b)(6), (c)
Disclosure document None required Alabama requires no disclosure document for a lot tenancy. The general landlord-tenant act requires only that the landlord disclose in writing, at or before the tenancy begins, the name and business address of the person authorized to manage the premises and of an owner or a person authorized to act for the owner in receiving notices and service of process, and that the information be kept current. Ala. Code § 35-9A-202 (a), (b)
Residents' right to meet and organize No state rule No statute protects meetings or organizing inside a manufactured-home community. The general landlord-tenant act comes closest by barring a landlord from retaliating because a resident has organized or become a member of a tenants' union or similar organization, but it gives no right to meet, to use common areas or to hand out information. Ala. Code § 35-9A-501 (a)(3)
Owner entry onto the lot or into the home No state rule No statute governs a community owner's entry onto a rented lot. Where the general landlord-tenant act applies it governs entry into the dwelling unit: the resident may not unreasonably withhold consent to inspections, repairs, services and showings, the landlord must generally give at least two days' notice and enter at reasonable times, and entry without consent is limited to an emergency, a court order, the act's repair and abandonment provisions, and showings under a separate signed notice. Ala. Code § 35-9A-303 (a), (b), (c)
Retaliation prohibited No state rule No statute bars retaliation against a lot resident as such. Where the general landlord-tenant act applies, a landlord may not discriminatorily raise rent, cut services or bring or threaten an eviction because the resident complained to a code agency, complained to the landlord about the duty to maintain, or organized or joined a tenants' union; the act still lets the landlord bring an eviction where the resident is in default in rent or has otherwise materially violated the lease. Ala. Code § 35-9A-501 (a), (b), (c)

D. Termination and eviction

Rule Alabama law Source
Just cause required to end a tenancy No No statute requires cause to end a lot tenancy in Alabama. Where the general landlord-tenant act reaches the tenancy, a month-to-month arrangement may be ended by either side on 30 days' written notice without a reason; the act's notice and cure rules matter only when a landlord ends a tenancy early for a breach. Ala. Code § 35-9A-441 (b); Ala. Code § 35-9A-421 (a), (b)
Grounds for termination No state rule Alabama lists no grounds for ending a lot tenancy, because no statute makes cause necessary. The general landlord-tenant act instead describes what a landlord must do to terminate early: a written notice for a material breach of the agreement, for an intentional misrepresentation of a material fact in the agreement or application, or for a failure to maintain that materially affects health and safety, together with a short list of defaults that cannot be cured, among them illegal drug activity, unlawful firearm use and criminal assault on the premises. Ala. Code § 35-9A-421 (a), (d)
Notice for nonpayment of lot rent No state rule No statute sets a nonpayment notice for a lot tenancy. Where the general landlord-tenant act applies, unpaid rent draws a written notice to terminate that states the rent and any late fees owed, and the agreement ends no sooner than seven business days after the resident receives it unless the amount is paid within that time. Ala. Code § 35-9A-421 (b)
Notice for a rule or lease violation No state rule No statute sets a notice period for a rule or lease violation on a lot. Where the general landlord-tenant act applies, a material breach draws a written notice specifying the acts and omissions, with termination no sooner than seven business days after receipt and the right to remedy the breach within that period. Ala. Code § 35-9A-421 (a)
Repeat-violation rule No state rule No statute sets a repeat-violation rule for lot tenancies. Under the general landlord-tenant act a resident may cure no more than two breaches in any 12-month period without the landlord's express written consent, and a breach involving substantially the same acts or omissions as one already cured is a default that cannot be cured if it happens within six months of the first. Ala. Code § 35-9A-421 (d)
Time to sell or remove the home after termination No state rule No statute gives a resident a set period to sell or move the home once a tenancy ends. The abandoned-dwelling chapter runs on a different trigger: a home is abandoned when the resident has been away from it for 30 days after a default, a termination or the expiration of the lease, or for 30 days after a court order to vacate. The resident or a lienholder then has 30 days from the notice to contact the community owner and, having done so, 45 days to remove the home before the owner may sell it. Ala. Code § 35-12A-1 (1); Ala. Code § 35-12A-5 (2); Ala. Code § 35-12A-7
Abandoned-home procedure Yes Alabama has a full abandoned-manufactured-dwelling procedure, and it is the state's one set of rules written for manufactured-home communities. A home is abandoned when the resident has been away for 30 days after a default, termination or expiration of the lease, or for 30 days after a court order to vacate. The community owner must give written notice to the resident and to any lienholder of record, store the home on its rented space and store other belongings safely, and may sell the home only after running a notice once a week for two consecutive weeks in a local newspaper and giving lienholders at least 30 days' notice of the sale date, with every aspect of the sale commercially reasonable. Proceeds pay the costs of notice, storage and sale, unpaid rent to the extent the owner's lien has priority and attorneys' fees, then property taxes, then lienholders, then the resident, who receives an itemized accounting. A lienholder that responds and keeps paying the space rent can hold off a sale for 12 months. Ala. Code § 35-12A-1 (1); Ala. Code § 35-12A-3; Ala. Code § 35-12A-5; Ala. Code § 35-12A-6; Ala. Code § 35-12A-8 (a), (b); Ala. Code § 35-12A-10; Ala. Code § 35-12A-11; Ala. Code § 35-12A-13
Mediation or dispute-resolution requirement No state rule No statute requires mediation or any other step before a lot dispute goes to court. The general landlord-tenant act says only that a claim or right disputed in good faith may be settled by agreement, and eviction cases are heard by the district and circuit courts, which give them precedence in scheduling over other civil cases. Ala. Code § 35-9A-106; Ala. Code § 35-9A-461 (b)

E. Closure and change of use

Rule Alabama law Source
Notice before closure or change of use No state rule Alabama sets no notice period for closing a community or changing its use. Nothing in the Code of Alabama addresses closure or conversion, so the notice that ends each tenancy is the only notice — 30 days for a month-to-month tenancy where the general landlord-tenant act applies, and otherwise whatever the lease provides. Ala. Code § 35-9A-441 (b); Ala. Code § 35-12A-1
Variants (by trigger or park size) No state rule There are no closure variants, because no closure regime exists. No statute distinguishes a sale, a condemnation or a conversion to another use, and none ties a longer notice to a larger community. Ala. Code § 35-9A-441 (b); Ala. Code § 35-12A-1
Relocation payment required No state rule No relocation payment is required when a community closes. Alabama has no relocation fund, no owner-paid moving allowance and no statute requiring help with the cost of moving a home. Ala. Code § 35-12A-1; Ala. Code § 35-9A-441 (b)
Relocation amounts No state rule No relocation amounts are set, because no statute requires a relocation payment in the first place. Ala. Code § 35-12A-1
Who pays relocation None required No one is required to pay relocation costs when an Alabama community closes. Neither the community owner nor a state fund carries a statutory duty, so the cost of moving a home falls on the resident. Ala. Code § 35-12A-1; Ala. Code § 35-9A-441 (b)
Notice to a government body on closure No state rule No notice to any government body is required when a community closes. No statute requires a filing with a state or local agency, and no agency has a role in closures. Ala. Code § 35-12A-1

F. Sale of the park

Rule Alabama law Source
Residents must be told the park is for sale No state rule Residents need not be told that the community is being sold. No statute requires notice of a listing, of an offer or of a completed sale. The nearest thing in Alabama law is the general landlord-tenant act's rule that a landlord who conveys the property in a good-faith sale to a bona fide purchaser is relieved of liability for later events only after written notice to the resident of the conveyance. Ala. Code § 35-9A-205 (a)
What triggers the notice No state rule There is no trigger, because no sale notice is required. The only sale-related writing the general landlord-tenant act mentions is the notice of the conveyance that a selling landlord gives to be relieved of liability for later events. Ala. Code § 35-9A-205 (a)
Residents' purchase right None required Residents have no statutory right to buy the community. Alabama law gives no right of first refusal, no notice of an intended sale and no window in which residents may organize or make an offer. Ala. Code § 35-9A-205 (a); Ala. Code § 35-12A-1
Time for residents to respond No state rule No response period exists, because residents have no purchase right to exercise. Ala. Code § 35-12A-1
Resident-association threshold No state rule No resident-association threshold appears in Alabama law. No statute recognizes a residents' organization for a purchase or for any other purpose in a manufactured-home community. Ala. Code § 35-12A-1
Transfers exempt from the sale rules No state rule There are no exempt transfers to list, because no sale rules apply to a manufactured-home community. Ala. Code § 35-12A-1
Residents may assign the right to a nonprofit or municipality No state rule No statute lets residents assign a purchase right to a nonprofit or a local government, because there is no purchase right to assign. Ala. Code § 35-12A-1
Penalty for violating the sale rules No state rule No penalty exists for breaking sale rules, because Alabama has no sale rules. The community chapter's only liability provision runs the other way: a community owner that complied in good faith with the abandoned-dwelling procedure has a complete defense to a claim by a resident or a lienholder for loss of or damage to the home or belongings sold under it. Ala. Code § 35-12A-12

G. The resident's home

Rule Alabama law Source
Right to sell the home in place No state rule No statute gives a resident the right to sell the home where it stands. The one place Alabama law recognizes a sale in place is after the death of a community's only resident: a personal representative or designated person who responds within the 30-day notice period may agree with the owner to keep the home on its rented space through probate, and may then sell it to a buyer who wants to leave it there and become a resident, so long as storage charges are paid and the space is maintained. Ala. Code § 35-12A-14 (4)
Park may not take a commission on the sale No state rule No statute bars a community from charging a commission or a fee on the sale of a resident's home. The charges Alabama law does address are the storage and maintenance costs that accrue once a home is treated as abandoned. Ala. Code § 35-12A-6 (b); Ala. Code § 35-12A-13
Park may screen the buyer Yes A community owner may screen a buyer who wants to keep the home on its rented space. In the two situations Alabama law addresses — a home left behind and claimed by a lienholder, and a home passing through the estate of a resident who has died — the owner may condition approval of the purchaser's occupancy on payment of the storage and maintenance charges that have accrued and on the buyer meeting the community's rental criteria as they stood when the original rental agreement was signed. Nothing limits screening in an ordinary sale. Ala. Code § 35-12A-13; Ala. Code § 35-12A-14 (4)
Buyer-approval standard and deadline No state rule No standard or deadline governs a community's decision on a buyer. Alabama law sets no reasonableness test, no requirement to give written reasons and no time limit for an answer. The only criterion it names, for a home left behind or passing through an estate, is the community's own rental criteria as they stood when the original rental agreement was signed. Ala. Code § 35-12A-13; Ala. Code § 35-12A-14 (4)
Home may not be rejected for age, size or style alone No state rule No statute stops a community from refusing a home because of its age, size or style. Alabama law places no limits on entry criteria for homes and does not bar requiring an older home to be removed when it is sold. Ala. Code § 35-12A-13; Ala. Code § 35-9A-302 (b)
Park may require repairs before sale No state rule No statute addresses whether repairs may be required before a home is sold. Alabama law neither authorizes nor limits a pre-sale condition requirement, so the agreement and the community's rules govern, subject to the general landlord-tenant act's limits on what a rule may do where that act applies. Ala. Code § 35-9A-302 (b)
Right to post a For Sale sign No state rule No statute protects a for-sale sign on a home or its rented lot. Alabama law says nothing about signs in a manufactured-home community, so the community's rules govern, subject to the general landlord-tenant act's limits on what a rule may do where that act applies. Ala. Code § 35-9A-302 (b)

H. The eight federal lender protections — which ones Alabama law already requires

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac require eight tenant site lease protections in every manufactured housing community loan they buy. Where state law already requires a protection of every park, a resident has it whether or not the park has agency financing. Alabama law requires 0 of 8. All 50 states are compared in our research study, including the 2018 federal survey baseline.

ProtectionAlabama lawBasis
One-year renewable lease term unless there is good cause for non-renewal Not required No statute requires a one-year lot lease or limits non-renewal to listed causes; where the general landlord-tenant act reaches the tenancy, an agreement with no fixed term runs month to month and either side may end it on 30 days' written notice for any reason. (Ala. Code § 35-9A-161; Ala. Code § 35-9A-441)
30-day written notice of rent increases Not required No statute requires notice before a lot-rent increase, of 30 days or of any other length; rent is what the rental agreement provides. (Ala. Code § 35-9A-161)
5-day grace period for rent payments and the right to cure defaults on rent payments Not required No statute gives a lot resident a period after the due date in which no late fee may be charged, and the chance to pay within seven business days of a nonpayment notice exists only under the general landlord-tenant act, whose application to a rented lot is unsettled; neither limb is required of every community. (Ala. Code § 35-9A-421; Ala. Code § 35-9A-141)
Right to sell the manufactured home without having to first relocate it out of the community Not required No statute bars a community from requiring the home to be moved when it is sold; the only Alabama provision that contemplates a home staying in place on a sale applies after the death of the community's only resident. (Ala. Code § 35-12A-14)
Right to sell the manufactured home in place within 30 days after eviction by the community owner Not required No statute gives an evicted resident a period to sell the home in place; the 45 days in the abandoned-dwelling chapter are a window to remove a home the resident has left, not a right to sell it where it stands. (Ala. Code § 35-12A-7; Ala. Code § 35-12A-8)
Right to sublease or assign the pad site lease for the unexpired term to the new buyer of the home without unreasonable restraint Not required No statute lets a buyer take over the lot tenancy or restrains a community's refusal; the one provision on approving a purchaser lets the owner apply its own rental criteria and charge accrued storage costs, with no reasonableness standard and no deadline. (Ala. Code § 35-12A-13)
Right to post "For Sale" signs that comply with the community's rules Not required No statute protects a for-sale sign on the home or the rented lot; signs are left to the community's rules. (Ala. Code § 35-9A-302)
Right to receive at least 60 days' notice of a planned sale or closure of the community Not required No statute requires residents to be told of a sale or a closure of the community, at 60 days or at all; the general landlord-tenant act mentions only the notice of conveyance a selling landlord gives to limit its own later liability. (Ala. Code § 35-9A-205)
