Section 35-9A-442
Landlord and tenant remedies for abuse of access.
(a) If a tenant refuses to allow lawful access, the landlord may obtain injunctive relief to compel access, or terminate the rental agreement pursuant to Section 35-9A-421. In either case, the landlord may recover actual damages.
(b) If a landlord makes an unlawful entry or a lawful entry in an unreasonable manner or makes excessive demands for entry otherwise lawful but which have the effect of unreasonably harassing the tenant, the tenant may obtain injunctive relief to prevent the recurrence of the conduct, or terminate the rental agreement pursuant to Section 35-9A-401. In either case, the tenant may recover actual damages.
