Bill Summary

Evictions, law enforcement role, notices to tenants

AI Summary

This bill amends Alabama law regarding evictions to require that eviction notices clearly inform tenants that they have at least seven calendar days from the date of a judgment to move out or appeal, and outlines procedures for handling personal property left behind, stating landlords have no obligation to preserve it. It also expands the methods for serving eviction notices, allowing for service by special process servers and requiring mailing by first-class mail if personal service or posting is not possible, and clarifies that law enforcement officers executing a writ of possession must post a warning at least 24 hours before removal, instruct occupants to leave, maintain peace during lock changes and property removal, and may use reasonable force, with immunity granted to officers and landlords for damages to property if the writ is executed reasonably.
