WHERE, OH WHERE IS THERE A FAIR ALABAMA EVICTION? CALLING FHA, HUD, ALABAMA ATTORNEY GENERAL, U.S. JUSTICE DEPARTMENT?: WHAT AGAIN WAS THE REASON(S) FOR SECTION 8 or DO YOU WANT ME TO HAVE 'ANOTHER V-8', TOO?
OKAY, BUT BEFORE I DO, YOU'LL AT LEAST WANT TO HEAR THIS DILLY OF DILLIES WHEN IT COMES TO QUESTIONABLE ALABAMA EVICTIONS. ESPECIALLY WHEN THERE WAS ONLY AN ORAL AGREEMENT, PARTIAL PAYMENT OF DEPOSIT (ONLY) TO MOVE IN. A SECTION 8 APPLICATION IN PROCESS BUT TENANT IS IN, AND FOR SOME TIME AFTER MOVING IN, THE STAGE IS SET FOR WHICH SHOULD BE AN AMUSING ANECTDOTE, WERE IT NOT TO TURN SO SAD, AT LEAST FOR THE TENANT AND HER PRE-K (?), YOUNG CHILD. SO, HERE WE GO.
You've met this landlord and he has agreed to let you move in while your Section 8 application to HUD (DEPARTMENT of HOUSING AND URBAN AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT), the federal government's program to help enable lower income Americans to have access to decent and affordable housing by paying a portion of the approved landlord's (subsidized rental payments) through HUD and then directly to the landlord. Landlords get tax credits a a result of participating in this Program, but landlords must follow strict procedures promulgated by the parent Agency, the FEDERAL HOUSING ADMINISTRATION, the chief entity the Congress and the Executive Branch of our Government to ensure the nation's FAIR HOUSING laws.
Discrimination of any kind-race, religion, s*x,disability,; any acts on the part of the landlord because of a tenant's reporting to an agency about repairs the landlord should make retaliatory acts, bullying, threatening or any other apparent reasons a tenant can raise as the cause for landlord's refusal to lease to tenant that the law might consider unfair are also strictly prohibited by these government agencies, federal and state regulators as well.
Once a landlord leases to his tenant, a strict procedural path he or she is REQUIRED by FHA before tenant can be evicted or ejected in cases of a "HOLDOVER" tenant. Such actions can only be authorized by a court for each particular action. note the actions are procedural, meaning there are steps that must be followed or the eviction is defective or illegal. The steps are termed by the FHA as giving the tenant his "ELEMENTS OF DUE PROCESS", tenant's DUE PROCESS" Prior to any eviction action which comes after the termination of tenancy is sent by a written notice (can be posted or delivered to tenant also). This step is defined as giving "ADEQUATE NOTICE"(tenant may be able to resolve any default or failure to meet terms included in the lease) the U. S. Constitution, many state laws demand must be given before a person is DEPRIVED of his residence or most other property in general. So now back to our anecdote. This is a very general idea of requirements necessary before an eviction should legally proceed.One case and is not intended to be case specific-consult an attorney. Your new home is quite a 'find' you are thinking as he cheerily shows you around the property. And the reader is reminded of the full details of this 'leasing is covered under the blog titled: "WHAT WOULD YOU DO WITH SUCH A LANDLORD? I COULD NOT MAKE THIS UP"!
