why use IDS?
While some property managers or landlords attempt to serve eviction notices themselves, using a professional process server ensures legal compliance and avoids tenant disputes. A process server provides an official record of service, reducing the risk of eviction delays caused by improper notice delivery.
Service can result in several outcomes
- Personal Service: The documents were directly handed to the tenant.
- Substitute service: The documents are handed to a resident of legal age at the address provided.
- Post and Mail: The documents are posted at the resident with a mailing to the address.
One and Done
Legal notices in regard to eviction can be costly if sent through traditional process of service. Using a Sherriff's department to serve these notices is a single attempt at service. By using IDS we provide the same single attempt along with photo verification. Landlords and Property management are able to communicate directly with the process server.
