SB149 would exempt HUD-regulated public housing occupancy agreements from Alabama's Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act.

What This Bill Does

It adds an exemption to Alabama law for occupancy agreements that are directly administered by city, county, and regional public housing authorities under HUD rules. This means those occupancy arrangements would not be governed by the Alabama LRTA and would follow HUD regulations instead. The bill becomes effective on the first day of the third month after it passes and is approved by the Governor.
