Alabama Lease renewal / non-renewal notice

Does a landlord have to give notice before not renewing a lease in Alabama?

The act requires written notice to end a periodic tenancy: at least 7 days for a week-to-week tenancy and at least 30 days before the periodic rental date for a month-to-month tenancy (Ala. Code § 35-9A-441(a), (b)). A tenant who holds over willfully after the lease ends can owe up to three months' rent or actual damages, whichever is greater (§ 35-9A-441(c)).
