A: You should always serve both at the same time; otherwise, you will need to wait until the last notice served expires before starting your UD proceedings (unless you want to forgo a judgment for the amount owed on the last notice served then you can start your UD proceedings immediately after the first notice served expires).

Anyone over the age of 18 can serve the notice. There are 3 ways to serve the notice.

1. Personal service: You have to give the notice to the person you want to evict in person.

2. Substitute service: If the tenant is not at their home or place of work, you can serve the notice by leaving a copy with someone over 18 at either their home or their work. You will also have to mail a copy to their home.

 

3. Nail and mail service: You can complete these steps: 1) Attach a copy in a place where it can be seen easily; 2) Give a copy to someone over the age of 18 if someone answers the door; and, 3) Send a copy by mail to tenant at the property address.
