Atlanta-Area County Marshal Continues Annual Tradition - Declares Moratorium On Holiday Evictions

In Fulton County, Georgia, WABE Radio 90.1 FM reports:
  • Fulton County will suspend forced evictions over the holidays. Starting December 19th, through January 5th, the County Marshal has said he will not execute writs of possession.

  • Fulton County Marshall Antonio Johnson says the holiday moratorium has become an annual tradition over the last several years. But considering how much the foreclosure rate has risen, he says more families will benefit from the temporary relief this year.
