Eviction Process Server in Miami

We serve eviction notices and landlord-tenant papers for owners, property managers and attorneys across Miami-Dade, Monday through Saturday, with a GPS point and a photo on every attempt and a notarized affidavit when the job is done.

Eviction service for Miami-Dade landlords

Agera Legal Services is a Miami-Dade certified process server based in Kendall. A large part of our week is landlord work: three-day notices for unpaid rent, seven-day notices for lease violations, and the eviction summons and complaint once a case is filed. We work for individual owners with one rental, for property managers with a portfolio of units, and for the law offices that handle evictions for both.

Our job is narrow and we keep it that way. You, or your attorney, decide which notice applies and prepare it. We deliver it to the tenant the way the law allows, document every attempt, and give you a sworn record you can rely on later. If anything about the notice itself is unclear, a landlord-tenant attorney is the right person to ask before it goes out.

What we serve for landlords

  • Three-day notices for unpaid rent, served on each tenant named on the notice.
  • Seven-day notices for lease violations, whether the notice is to cure or to terminate.
  • Other Florida statutory notices under Chapter 83, served exactly as you hand them to us.
  • The eviction summons and complaint after the case is filed, served by a certified process server.
  • Related papers in a landlord-tenant matter, such as subpoenas, at our regular levels.

We serve residential units across the county: single-family homes, duplexes, garden apartments, townhouse communities and condominium towers. Commercial landlords use us for tenant notices at retail and office space too.

How each eviction serve is handled

Every attempt is logged in our field app at the door. The record holds the time, the GPS coordinates of the server, a photo of the address and, when the papers are posted, a photo of the posting in place. Nothing is reconstructed from memory afterwards; the affidavit is written from that record.

Our servers try for personal delivery first. When a tenant is absent and the statute allows posting, the papers are posted at the unit and photographed, and the posting is recorded with its time and location. When there is more than one tenant on the papers, each one is served and documented separately, so your record covers every person named.

Attempts are spread over different times of day. A tenant who works days is often home at seven in the evening; one who works nights is easier to find in the morning. Every order includes up to 4 attempts at different times of day within your level's time, with a Saturday attempt when that time includes a Saturday.

Gated communities and condo towers are routine for us. Section 48.031(7) requires a gated residential community, including a condominium association, to grant unannounced entry to a person attempting to serve a resident, and our servers carry court-issued identification for the gate or the desk. If a building refuses anyway, the refusal goes on the attempt record.

Timing: pick the level that fits your case

Every eviction serve is ordered at one of four turnaround levels. Service days are Monday to Saturday, counted from when we have the paid order and the papers. Completed means served, or all included attempts made.

The affidavit you receive

When the job is done you receive a notarized affidavit of service. It states who was served or where the papers were posted, the date and time, and how the service was made, in the form a Florida return of service takes under section 48.21. The photo and GPS record of each attempt are attached. If the tenant cannot be found after the included attempts, you receive an affidavit of due diligence that documents each attempt instead.

The affidavit lands in your client portal the moment it is signed, together with the attempt log you watched as the job ran. Read more about what an affidavit of service is and how it is filed.

How to order

Order online in a few minutes: upload the notice or the filed papers, enter the tenant's name and the unit address, choose your level and pay. The order is confirmed by email, a server is assigned, and you can follow each attempt in the portal. If you would rather talk it through, call (786) 241-4146, Monday to Saturday.

Eviction service questions

How much does it cost to serve an eviction notice in Miami?

Eviction notice service is $85 at Agera Legal Services. That includes the attempts, the posting when the statute allows it, the GPS and photo record and the notarized affidavit.

Which eviction papers do you serve?

Three-day notices for unpaid rent, seven-day notices for lease violations, the other Florida statutory notices under Chapter 83, and the eviction summons and complaint once your case is filed. You give us the papers; we do not prepare notices or choose which one applies.

Can you post the notice on the door if the tenant is not home?

When the tenant is absent and the statute allows posting, yes. The posting is photographed in place and the time and GPS point go into the affidavit, so the record shows exactly where and when it was done.

How fast can you serve a tenant?

It depends on the level you order. Standard makes the first attempt within 72 hours, Rush within 24 hours, Same Day the same day, and Same Day + makes more than one attempt the same day. Service days are Monday to Saturday.

What do I get back after the tenant is served?

A notarized affidavit of service stating how, when and where the papers were delivered or posted, with the photo and GPS record of each attempt. It appears in your client portal as soon as it is signed, ready to keep with your file or hand to your attorney.

Do you serve tenants in gated communities and condo towers?

Yes. Section 48.031(7) requires gated residential communities, including condominium associations, to grant unannounced entry to a person attempting to serve process on a resident. If a gate or a desk still refuses, the refusal is documented on the attempt record.

Do you give legal advice about evictions?

No. Agera Legal Services is a certified process server, not a law firm. We serve and document the papers you send. For which notice to use, the amounts or the dates, ask a landlord-tenant attorney.
