Ever been confused by the Proof Of Service Form?
Yea, so have we! We are so sorry for any confusion caused by this and to remedy our error we reached out to the professionals at Rudderow Law Group to get some clarity on how to better use the form and we want to pass it on to our Members to ensure the process is clarified for your Parks.
The Basics: How to Use the Form
The Proof Of Service form is for YOUR records and will assist your attorney in the event of an unlawful detainer. You do not provide the proof of service form to the guest being served. First off, enter the information for the registered guest and then select the type of form you are serving.
Here’s where it gets confusing:
If you are serving a 72-hour notice, choose one method:
- Method No 1 – Hand it to the registered guest personally. If you choose Method 1, you DO NOT need Method No 2.
-
Method No 2 – Hand it to a suitable on-site substitute, AND affix to the RV AND mail it to the registered guests mailing address even if that address is the park address. Seems crazy but this is the law in California.
If you are serving any other notice, i.e., 3 day, 7 day, 30 or 60, or 3/60 combined choose one of the below:
- Method No 1 – Hand directly to the registered guest. You’re done. You DO NOT need an additional method.
-
Method No 2 – Leave a copy with Substitute AND Mail a copy to the registered guests place of residence even if that is the park address.
OR
-
Method No 3 – Affix a copy of Notice to the RV AND mail a copy to registered guests residence.
Nectaria Belantis, Senior Counsel for the Rudderow Law Group, says that the law is very specific on how these notices must be served. Nectaria recommends always using the Proof of Service Form for guidance. If you have any questions, please call us here in the office: (530) 885-1624
