As always, it's best to avoid court altogether.Here is a link with additional information on the Alabama Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act.http://codes.lp.findlaw.com/alcode/35/9ANote there were several changes enacted in 2014 to move it more towards the landlord's favor.  

As a person who specializes in Security of all types, let me tell you of the magic of a 35 dollar uniform purchase online of a USPS or UPS outfit, and a 125 dollar RFID reader.They immediately unlock most low end "smart keys", especially since they broadcast their unlock sequence unencrypted, and even the ones that are "encrypted" are only aes 128 usually by default.

NO surprise one of the unlicensed broker cheerleaders put on their uniform agreeing with the "fair game" idea.

Its really a vicious cycle.. the newbie uniformed investor buys a hood property for cheap basically loses their entire investment .. sells the to the local wholesaler who sells to the local rehabber .. then they resell to out of area or uneducasted buyers and the cycle repeats.

... because HUD argues that they is a higher convictiin rate among minorities... therefore using a criminal background check may discriminate unfairly against a protected class.Don't shoot the messenger.Solution: Have a formal written rental acceptance policy, and apply it uniformly to all tenants.

:) Deed restrictions, in terms of those that allowable, their implications, and how to go about enforcing.breaking them, are not uniform for all 50 states.  

A year ago i never heard of them then PRESTO they would keep popping up as the #1 search result on Google.com followed by trulia, then realtor, homes.com, etc since the owner is not a natural person, would imagine they are developing a uniform way of verifying ownership/authorization like attaching a photo ID and ownership documents listing u as an owner/shareholder/whatever.. sort of like what hotpads and/or onradpad.com have been doing for years now already but zillow wellpp they r obv goin thru major growin pains/pangs still!

@Michael Prakash: (I am not an attorney): Each state is different when it comes to trusts (although majority of them attempt to conform to the uniform trust code).

Statement to this effect must be included on rental application.Seattle city council has passed legislation that will extend eviction bans for 6 months after the end of the Mayor’s emergency ordersNo rent increases or notices to increase rent through 6/30/21 (retroactive to 2/29/2020).Do not give notice of rent increase or offer renewal with rent increase, even if actual increase is set to take place after 6/30/21.A landlord, property owner or property manager of manufactured housing may now provide a notice of rent increase to a tenant if the rent increase was included as terms of the lease agreement and the notice clearly states that the rent increase will not take place until after the moratorium expires.No enforcement of rent payment if tenant was unable to occupy premises due to COVID-19 related circumstances.No charging of late fees through 6/30/21 effective retroactively to February 29, 2020, for rent not paid during the ban.Seattle: No late fees or interest.Auburn: No late fees or other charges.No collection of debt incurred after 2/29/2020 without offer of reasonable payment plan, including use of security deposit until after 6/30/21.Seattle: Must offer uniform payment plans: ≤1 month overdue = 3 installments; 2 months overdue = 5 installments; > 2 months overdue = 6 installments; or other mutually agreed plan.Auburn: Payment plan must be proven reasonable based on tenant's financial situation.

some states require that you pay the loan in full prior to the auction if you want to keep the house. https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/summary-alabamas-for...Reinstating the Loan"Even though Alabamalaw doesn't provide a statutory right to reinstate the loan before the sale, many mortgages, like the uniform Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac mortgage, allow the borrower to complete a reinstatement.Check your loan documents to determine if you get a reinstatement right and, if so, the deadline to complete one.
