Serve Rochester can assist in service of any of these docs including service by mail.
Before you can start an eviction proceeding, you need to ask yourself what it is you are trying to accomplish.
Is it collecting the past due rent and keep the tenant?
Is it to get rid of the tenant completely?
Is it to get rid of them because they are a danger to the surrouning neighbors and property or engaging in illegal activities?
The answer to these questions dictates how you can proceed and also open another series of questions.
We suggest you consult an attorney.
