Alabama clarifies proclamation regarding eviction moratorium

State Issues Covid-19 Alabama Mortgages Foreclosure

On May 8, the Alabama governor issued a Ninth Supplemental Proclamation amending an earlier proclamation providing relief from residential evictions and foreclosures, which we previously covered here. The earlier proclamation is amended to specify that the protection against evictions applies only to evictions based on nonpayment. The proclamation also extends the state of emergency issued on March 13, 2020, for an additional sixty days, unless sooner terminated. The proclamation will remain in effect for the duration of the public health emergency unless rescinded or extended by another proclamation.
