Eviction Notice Service in San Francisco, CA

Most San Francisco rental units are covered by the Rent Ordinance, which requires a just cause for eviction beyond the state-law notice requirements. A notice that's valid under the California Code of Civil Procedure but doesn't meet San Francisco Rent Board just-cause documentation can still get your case dismissed. We serve the notices you provide with full documentation — confirm the correct notice type and just-cause basis with an attorney or the Rent Board before dispatch.

We serve 3-Day Notices to Pay Rent or Quit, 3-Day Notices to Perform Covenant or Quit, 3-Day Notices to Quit, and 30-Day/60-Day Notices to Terminate Tenancy, along with any additional notice required to establish just cause under the SF Rent Ordinance. Every service attempt is GPS-timestamped and documented to the standard SF Superior Court expects on unlawful detainer filings.

After the notice period runs and the complaint is filed at the Civic Center Courthouse, the summons and complaint must be personally served. San Francisco's dense multi-unit buildings, locked lobbies, and door staff are common service obstacles — we plan attempts around building access realities and document every obstruction for the reasonable diligence record if substitute service becomes necessary under CCP §415.20.

Our eviction support package covers 3-Day Notice preparation support, notice service, unlawful detainer summons and complaint service, court filing coordination, proofs of service, deadline tracking, default tracking, and writ and sheriff lockout guidance for a flat $599 fee, with court costs advanced and invoiced separately — built for straightforward nonpayment matters throughout San Francisco.
