Section 35-9-100When reasonable satisfaction may be recovered. A reasonable satisfaction may be recovered for the use and occupation of land: (1) When there has been a demise by deed or by parol, and no specific sum agreed on as rent. (2) When the defendant has been let into possession upon a supposed sale of the lands, which, from the act of the defendant, has not been consummated. (3) When the tenant remains on the land by sufferance of the owner. When, after a demise, the tenant, having had 30 days' previous notice, holds over without the consent of his landlord, he shall pay to such landlord double the value of the customary rent of the property so withheld. (4) When the defendant has gone in possession of the land unlawfully. The owner of the land has a lien upon the same property of the defendant, and to the same extent as the landlord has under section 35-9-30 or section 35-9-60, which may be enforced by attachment as provided in section 35-9-61 or section 35-9-34, as may be applicable. (5) When for any reason the defendant is estopped from disputing the title of the plaintiff as to the use of the land occupied. In no case shall a mere claim or assertion of powers, right or title of the defendant to that of the plaintiff be a defense unless the claim of right or title of the defendant is bona fide.

(a) A landlord may not demand or receive money as security, in an amount in excess of one month's periodic rent, except for pets, changes to the premises, or increased liability risks to the landlord or premises, for tenant's obligations under a rental agreement. (b) Upon termination of the tenancy, money held by the landlord as security may be applied to the payment of accrued rent and the amount of damages that the landlord has suffered by reason of the tenant's noncompliance with Section 35-9A-301 all as itemized by the landlord in a written notice delivered to the tenant together with the amount due 60 days after termination of the tenancy and delivery of possession.  (c) If the landlord does not refund the entire deposit, the landlord, within the 60-day period, shall provide the tenant an itemized list of amounts withheld. (d) Upon vacating the premises, the tenant shall provide to the landlord a valid forwarding address, in writing, to which the deposit or itemized accounting, or both, may be mailed. If the tenant fails to provide a valid forwarding address, the landlord shall mail, by first class mail, the deposit or itemized accounting, or both, to the last known address of the tenant or, if none, to the tenant at the address of the property. Any deposit unclaimed by the tenant as well as any check outstanding shall be forfeited by the tenant after a period of 90 days. (e) The landlord's mailing by first class mail to the address provided in writing by the tenant, within 60 days of the refund or itemized accounting, or both, is sufficient compliance with this chapter. (f) If the landlord fails to mail a timely refund or accounting within the 60-day period, the landlord shall pay the tenant double the amount of the tenant's original deposit. (g) This section does not preclude the landlord or tenant from recovering other damages to which the landlord or tenant may be entitled. (h) The holder of the landlord's interest in the premises at the time of the termination of the tenancy is bound by this section. (Act 2006-316, p. 668, §1; Act 2014-279, p. 886, §1.)
