Alabama issues proclamation providing relief from residential evictions and foreclosures

State Issues Covid-19 Alabama Mortgages Foreclosure

On April 3, the Alabama governor issued a proclamation announcing temporary relief from residential evictions and foreclosures. All state, county, and local law enforcement officers are directed to cease enforcement of any order that would result in the displacement of a person from their residence. The proclamation does not relieve individuals of any obligation to pay rent, make mortgage payments, or comply with any obligation that an individual may have under a rental agreement or mortgage. Any law that conflicts with the proclamation is suspended for the duration of the state of emergency for Covid-19.
