How HOAChime handles Alabama requests

HOAChime lets the company set its own target number of days per association, which suits Alabama's condominium rule of reasonably available records with no number of days, and still keeps the history. Reminder emails and a due-soon and overdue list cover every association, and records can be marked withheld with the reason.
