Terms Used In Alabama Code 35-9-32

  • Lien: A claim against real or personal property in satisfaction of a debt.
  • property: includes both real and personal property. See Alabama Code 1-1-1
  • year: means a calendar year; but, whenever the word "year" is used in reference to any appropriations for the payment of money out of the treasury, it shall mean fiscal year. See Alabama Code 1-1-1

When the tenant fails to pay any part of such rent or advances, and continues his tenancy under the same landlord, on the same or other lands, the balance due therefor shall be held and treated as advances to him by the landlord for the next succeeding year, for which the original lien for advances, if any remain unpaid, shall continue on the articles advanced, or property purchased with money advanced, or obtained by barter in exchange for articles advanced, and for which a lien shall also attach to the crop of such succeeding year.
