Eviction in Alabama taking more than 1 year ?

Account Closed
Posted

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

Something doesn't smell right. Here's a timeline: Alabama Eviction Process

Once the Writ is issued, the Sheriff has one week to forcibly remove the Tenant. Have you called to confirm and verify your property manager's story? Has your property manager visited the home to see if anyone's even living there?

You need to talk to an attorney. Check this out: https://www.kickemoutquick.com...
