The notice Alabama requires before a landlord enters an occupied unit — 2 days under Ala. Code § 35-9A-303 — with the reason, the window and the delivery record filled in from the tenant's record.
Pick the situation. The period on each card is Alabama's minimum — your lease can require more, never less.
Ala. Code § 35-9A-3032 days (Ala. Code § 35-9A-303).
Allowed without notice. Tell the tenant afterwards what happened and what was done.
Inspect, make repairs, supply services, show to buyers, tenants or contractors.
Not a proper notice for a permitted reason. Repeated refusal is a lease violation; never enter by force — document it and use the lease-violation notice.
Only if the lease allows electronic notices. The in-app message is emailed and shown in the tenant portal, time-stamped; print it for hand delivery where paper is required.
