[WSBARP] UD Service Issue

[Scott Russon]

Yes, I guess the safe thing would be to serve her in jail.  It's just an interesting thought - when does jail become your 'residence.'  If I get a 10 year prison sentence, does that mean I have abandoned the rental property?

I no longer perform UD actions, but I did thousands of them in a prior life.  I occasionally served tenants while in jail.  I'd do that here, under the theory that service is to provide notice and she is more likely to receive notice via actual service in jail as opposed to the sub service on the husband (of course, it makes sense to do both).

Subject: [WSBARP] UD Service Issue

Anyone have experience or thoughts on the following service issue:

Husband and wife are tenants.  Husband lives at rental property, but wife is now in prison for a year.  For purposes of serving a unlawful detainer lawsuit, is wife's residence still the rental
Property, or at the jail?  Can I serve husband and leave a copy as substitute service on wife at the rental property, or do I also need to personally serve wife in jail?

Sincerely yours,
