Title

Public housing authorities, occupancy agreements, certain regulated by the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development exempt from Alabama Uniform Residential Landlord Tenant Act, Sec. 35-9A-122 am'd.

Summary

HB141 would exempt occupancy agreements administered by HUD-regulated public housing authorities from Alabama's Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act.

What This Bill Does

If passed, the bill amends Section 35-9A-122 to exclude occupancy agreements that are directly administered by city, county, and regional public housing authorities under HUD rules from the Alabama Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act. This means those specific occupancy agreements would not be governed by Alabama's landlord-tenant law and would instead follow HUD regulations. The exemption applies specifically to arrangements managed by public housing authorities under HUD guidelines.

Who It Affects

• Tenants living in public housing units that are directly administered by city, county, or regional public housing authorities under HUD rules
• Public housing authorities (city, county, and regional) that administer occupancy agreements under HUD guidelines
