If you are told you have to move out of your apartment by your landlord, how much notice does the landlord have to give you to find another place if you live in Alabama?

Acermill is correct as ususal. He must be a pro at this.
Kristen V however is mistaken in her answer as to they have to give you a reason to kick you out. This is only partially correct.
If you have a 1 yr lease, they have to state the violation of the lease that you broke and that is the reason for the eviction. If your lease expires, he does not have to renew it, which makes it a month to month and he can evict you WITHOUT REASON. BUT if you are a month to month tenant to begin with, the landlord DOES NOT have to give you a reason to evict you. The landlord must give you a 30 day notice in writing, not verbal. After that 30 day, if you are not moved out, then the landlord will take you to court. That will cost you court fees on top of what ever damages, past due rents and late fees owed. Plus will be put on your credit report, depending on state, from 6 to 10 yrs.

Your landlord should give you 30 days advance notice depending on the situation. I would call legal aide in your state to double check time limits for your state. It really depends on the state your in. In my state, the judge grants you 30 days after judgement in court. Altogether it could take 45 days or more before the landlord actually gets a tenant "out"(if tenant does not leave upon landlord's notice). Again, this timeline depends on the state in which you reside.

It's usually 30 days unless you are a problem tenant not paying or causing a disturbance he can give you 3 days.

Of course, it depends on WHY you are being asked to leave. Under normal circumstances thirty days from any given rent due date is normal notice. If you have violated the terms of the rent agreement by failure to pay or other violations, the law provides for much shorter time to put you on the streets.

Month by month tenancy, 30 days. If you have a lease, you don't have to move out until the end of it, unless the owner plans to move into your apartment (unlikely). Unless, you are in violation or by court order...

That should be somewhere in the lease agreement. I give my tenants 30 days notice though..

by law (and this is the same for any state) the landlord has to give you 30 days notice. Anything less is in violation of the Federal Landlord/Tennant act.
But to be on the safe side ask an attorney there in "Bama."

massive apple State regulation calls for the owner to grant "life like" be conscious to flow into. This usually recommend everywhere from 12-24 hours. No...you're no longer allowed to make structural differences (changing locks) to the place of residing with out written permission from the owner. additionally, NYS regulation calls for the owner to have a reproduction of all keys to a apartment unit.

It will vary by city. Birmingham, Mobile, Montgomery all may have different ordinances. Ask a local attorney, or if you cannot afford one, try legal aid. You might even be able to get the answer from your City Attorney or County District Attorneys office.

in most states its required that they have to give you a 30 day time period so you have time to find another place and remove your stuff.
but tehy also have to give a reasonable response as to why they are throwing you out.
