Section 35-9-100 When 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...

Section 40-10-77 Defense of action fails on grounds other than that taxes were not due. THIS
SECTION WAS AMENDED BY ACT 2018-494 IN THE 2018 REGULAR SESSION, EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 2020.
TO SEE THE AMENDED VERSION, SEE THE VERSION LABELED PENDING. If, in an action brought against
such purchaser or other person claiming under the purchaser to recover possession of lands
sold for taxes, the defendant claims and defends under the tax title and the defense fails
on the ground that such sale was invalid for any reason other than that the taxes were not
due, and the plaintiff recovers, the court shall forthwith, on the motion of the defendant,
ascertain the amount of taxes for which the lands were liable at the time of the sale and
for the payment of which they were sold, with interest thereon from the day of sale, and the
amount of such taxes on the lands, if any, as the defendant or the person under whom he or
she claims has, since such sale, lawfully paid or assumed, in case of the state,...

Section 6-6-287 Joinder of landlord as party defendant; continuation of action against tenant.
(a) When the land, the subject matter of the action, is in the possession of a tenant, the
landlord may be joined with the tenant as a party defendant. (b) When the action is against
a tenant, the landlord must be made a party to the action on motion of the tenant, or upon
the landlord's motion to intervene supported by his pleading showing, as a part thereof, that
the defendant is his tenant by demise in writing or is in the occupancy of the land sued for
with his consent, or of some portion thereof, which should be specified. When it appears to
the satisfaction of the court that the landlord is a nonresident, the action shall proceed
without delay against the tenant. (Code 1852, §2205; Code 1867, §2606; Code 1876, §2955;
Code 1886, §2700; Code 1896, §1534; Code 1907, §§3840, 3844; Code 1923, §§7454, 7458;

Section 6-6-286 Proceedings upon defendant's suggestion of adverse possession. (a) When an
action is commenced to recover land or the possession thereof, the defendant may, at any time
before the trial, suggest upon the record that he, and those whose possession he has, have,
for three years next before the commencement of the action, had adverse possession thereof,
which must be construed to mean the same character of possession as will put in operation
the statute of limitations. In such case, if the jury finds for the plaintiff, it must also
ascertain by its verdict whether such suggestion is true or false. If the jury finds it to
be false, it must return a verdict for the damages as in ordinary cases. If the jury finds
it to be true, it must assess the value, at the time of trial, of the permanent improvements
made by the defendant, or those whose estate he has, and also ascertain by its verdict the
value of the lands and of the use and occupation thereof, not including the...

Section 6-6-283 Demanding abstract of title to be relied on for recovery or defense; proceedings
upon failure to furnish same. In all actions or proceedings involving the title or right of
possession to land, either party may, by notice in writing to the opposing party or his attorney
of record not less than 10 days before the trial, demand an abstract in writing of the title,
or titles, on which he will rely for recovery or defense, and such party must be confined
to the proof of such title or titles upon the trial. If either party, after such demand and
notice, fails to furnish such abstract of title, the party so demanding may move the court
to require the party in default to furnish the abstract of title, and the court may enter
an order requiring the party so in default to furnish the abstract of title within the time
to be fixed by the order of the court. Upon failure to comply with such order, the court must
dismiss the action or proceeding if the plaintiff is in default or may...

Section 6-9-40 Real and personal property; equity of redemption therein. Executions may be
levied: (1) On real property to which the defendant has a legal title or a perfect equity,
having paid the purchase money, or in which he has a vested legal interest in possession,
reversion, or remainder, whether he has the entire estate or is entitled to it in common with
others. (2) On personal property of the defendant, except things in action, whether he has
the absolute title thereto or the right only to the possession thereof for his own life, the
life of another or any shorter period, but this does not apply to a possession acquired by
a bona fide hiring of chattels. (3) On an equity of redemption in either land or personal
property. When any interest less than the absolute title is sold, the purchaser is subrogated
to all the rights of the defendant and subject to all his disabilities. (Code 1852, §2455;
