Determine the correct route
Record attempts to serve by authorized ordinary methods, why they failed and why the requested alternative is likely to reach the recipient.
Forms and documents to consider
Before applying, responding or serving
- Check jurisdiction and the precise document version, number and legal purpose.
- Write down what happened and when. Keep your rental agreement, notices, payment records and messages.
- Check the official notice and RTB instructions for how to deliver it, when it counts as received, and the deadline.
- Do not assume a form makes you eligible for the remedy or that an application automatically stays another order.
Critical distinction
A proposed email address or messaging account may not qualify for legal service without authorization or consent.
