Help me. Tenant has been living rent free for 1 year now.

Hello,

I own a few turnkey houses in Alabama (famous and reputable turnkey company)

One of my tenant in the Jefferson county stopped paying rent 1 year ago.

Property manager immediately sent him for eviction and 6 months later we go the WRIT from the court.

It's been since January that we are waiting for the WRIT to be executed by the Sheriff.

Tenant has been living rent free for almost 1 year now.. He doesn't open the door and doesn't answer phone call.

PM say they can't do anything more and are just waiting for the sheriff to execute the WRIT.

Is there anything I can do to get the WRIT executed by the sheriff ?
I'm a foreign investor living in Europe, so it's a bit complicated but if there is a specific lawyer or office I could contact to fasten the process, it would be nice.

Thank you very much

    Hire an eviction attorney and tell your PM to be more proactive and get things done.  

    Also posting a question and then closing the account is not good form. How are you going to reply to posts?

    I suspect your Property Manager is not being honest and you'll need to fire them.
