Eviction Law Changes

Eviction Services - The Landlords Guide

By Iron Law

At Iron Law, we often receive calls from landlords who want to evict a renter, under the thought that the Three Day Notice they served is sufficient. Not So.

Three Day Notices must state seven important items or the notice will be considered defective:

1. The Name of the tenant.
2. A Description of the Premises.
3. The Amount of past due Rent.
4. The Person who can receive the rent.
5. The Address where the renter can pay the rent.
6. The Hours the renter can pay the rent.
7. The Phone Number of the person who can receive the rent.

A free Three Day Notice is available from Iron Law. FREE NOTICE

After the notice is drafted, it must be served in the required manner. There are three methods to serve the person:

1. Personally serve the defendant. (Personal Service)
2. Serve an adult at the defendant's residence and then mail a copy that that same location. (Substitute Service)
3. Tape a copy on the front door and then mail a copy that that same location. (Post & Mail)

If the landlord fails to mail a copy when subserving or posting the notice - the notice will be defective and it could result in your case being dismissed. Frequently, tenants will claim they did not receive the notice. The best method to avoid this claim is to mail the notice by certified mail.
