1.   THE LANDLORD OR THE PROPERTY MANAGER IS ALLOWED TO SERVE ANY NOTICE.

 

2.   A PROCESS SERVER MAY SERVE NOTICES BUT THERE WILL BE A COST INVOLVED OF $35 TO $50 AND SOMETIMES MORE IF THERE IS A RUSH.

 

3.  FLORIDA LAW DOES NOT PROHIBIT A THIRD PARTY SUCH AS A STAFF MEMBER, HANDYMAN, ASSISTANT, OR A NON PROCESS SERVER TO SERVE NOTICES.

 

4.  THE NOTICE SHOULD BE PREPARED BY AND SIGNED BY THE LANDLORD OR THE PROPERTY MANAGER. 

 

5.    IN THE EVENT OF AN EVICTION, THE PERSON WHO SERVED THE NOTICE MAY BE REQUIRED TO COME INTO COURT TO PROVE THEY ACTUALLY SERVED THE NOTICE.

 

6.  SERVING A NOTICE WITH A WITNESS IS PREFERRED BUT NOT LEGALLY REQUIRED.

 

7.  AFTER SERVING THE NOTICE BY POSTING ON THE DOOR, WE ADVISE YOU TAKE A PHOTO OF THE NOTICE ON THE DOOR PREFERABLY WITH A TIME/DATE STAMP.

 

SERVING NOTICES IS AN IMPORTANT PART OF THE PROCESS AND CAN BE DANGEROUS.  BEING ABLE TO PROVE SERVICE IN COURT IS A MUST.

 

IF YOU DESIGNATE A THIRD PARTY TO SERVE NOTICES FOR YOU, BE SURE THEY ALWAYS KNOCK FIRST AND ONLY SECURLY POST ON THE DOOR IN THE EVENT NOBODY ANSWERS THE DOOR, A PERSON UNDER THE AGE OF 15 OPENS THE DOOR OR A PERSON WHO IS NOT AN ACTUAL OCCUPANT ANSWERS THE DOOR.
