Substituted service

Postby tale » Wed Nov 05, 2008 6:24 pm

Hello my landlord served me notice of termination. He sent a registered letter with return receipt plus 3 copies of the same using priority mail.

As I am reading in the Tenants guide this is not proper Substituted service.

2. Substituted Service: This kind of service takes two separate steps and must result in your being served with three copies of the notice of petition and petition. One copy must be given to a person of "suitable age and discretion" who lives or works at your home, not just someone who happens to be there (This person does not have to be an adult, but it
should not be a small child). By the next day, excluding weekends and certain holidays, the two other copies must be mailed to you, one copy by regular and one copy by registered or certified mail. Certified mail does not require a return receipt, but you will probably have to sign for it.

Both to cure and notice of termination were served is such a manner.
I did not pickup the registered mail for all that's good for.
