Free Alabama lease agreement, built for your tenant and address

Answer a few questions and get an Alabama residential lease with your tenant, your address, and the disclosures Alabama law calls for written in. We wrote it to the statute; an Alabama attorney has not reviewed it yet, so read it before you rely on it. When it reads right, send it to your tenant to sign online. Building it is free, with no credit card and no account to start.

What is built into the Alabama lease

The one-month security deposit limit with its sixty-day return and written itemization
The seven-business-day notices the Act prescribes for nonpayment and other defaults, with the two-cures-a-year limit and the noncurable-default list written in exactly
The two-day entry notice with the showing-access rule that must live outside the lease, and the owner and manager disclosure the Act requires in writing before the tenancy starts
Drafted around Alabama's prohibited-provisions statute: no clause making the tenant pay the landlord's attorney's fees or collection costs, no indemnity or hold-harmless language, no limitation of the landlord's liability, no confession of judgment, and no advance non-waiver clause the Act does not allow

How it works

Answer a few questions. Property address, tenant names, rent, dates, deposit, and the handful of choices the lease actually turns on. About five minutes, one topic at a time.
Watch the lease fill in. The real Alabama document fills in as you go, so you can read every clause before anyone signs.
Send it for signing. Your tenant signs online, from any phone. Sending it sets up your PropManager account, free for your first 2 weeks with no card.

Already have a lease and just need to renew it? Drop in the old one. We update the rent and dates and send it to your tenant to sign, free.

Common questions

Is the Alabama lease really free?

Building it is free, with no account and no credit card. To send it to your tenant for e-signature you create a PropManager account, which is free for your first 2 weeks with no card.

Is it reviewed by an Alabama attorney?

No. PropManager Editorial wrote it, and the template is current through the 2026 Regular Session, verified against the Code of Alabama on the Legislature's own site and the enrolled acts that shaped the current landlord-tenant law. It is an informational starting point, not legal advice, and it is not a substitute for a licensed Alabama attorney reviewing your situation.

Can I edit the lease?

You set the terms by answering the questions: rent, dates, deposit, and the handful of choices the lease turns on. The document fills in as you go, so you can read every clause before you send it. The wizard is not a free-form editor.

Does it work outside Alabama?

No. This template is Alabama-specific. Other states have their own templates, linked below. For a state we have not written yet, the wizard gives you our general-use lease and says so plainly.

What if my state is not covered yet?

You can still build and send a lease: the wizard gives you our general-use lease and tells you so plainly. Leave your email and we tell you when your state's own lease is ready. Covered states are listed at the bottom of this page.
