This week's FAQ
I'm filing an eviction. I am mainly interested in getting the property back.
What type of service should I use? Great question! Before an eviction trial can occur
the tenant must be served with a summons and a copy of the petition. In most law suits the
process server (sheriff or constable) has 20 days to serve a summons, but in
evictions, have only 3 days to serve the papers on the tenant. As a result process servers
frequently are not able to serve the tenant. When that occurs we are not able to have our
eviction trial on the date requested and must attempt to serve the tenant again.
The statutes
provide for substituted service which allows the process server to post the summons on the door.
First however, we must obtain the Judge's permission to do so. After obtaining permission, we
have another summons issued, reschedule the court date, and the process server posts the summons.
Isn't there a faster option?
A number of years ago, several landlords and myself worked to write a special provision in the
landlord tenant act to allow service on the tenant by "mail and posting". We must request
this type of service at the commencement of the eviction. When the summons is served, the process
server after "diligent efforts", may post the summons on the door and mail a copy of the
summons.
The advantage of this process is that if the process server is unable to catch the tenant
the summons is simply posted and we do not have to re-schedule the eviction trial. The disadvantage
is that we would not be able to get a money judgment against the tenant.
