Alabama Evictions and Ejectments Ban Lifted

[Denise Evans]

Governor Kay Ivey previously banned law enforcement from executing eviction and ejectment orders. The stated purpose was to keep people inside their homes during the COVID-19 crisis. The order did not have an expiration date.

She has now lifted the ban, effective midnight on June 1, 2020.  You can read the proclamation HERE.  Alabama landlords, tax sale investors, and foreclosure investors may now proceed as normal with legal steps to oust tenants and former owners from properties.

Being in a landlord friendly state is crucial when investing.  Some liberal states have dragged this much longer.  It was a merciful step to  make sure people were not on the streets during the pandemic, but now that it is largely passed, this is a good move.  Hopefully stimulus money will help people catch up so there will be less trauma during difficult times.
