Eviction Lawsuit Process Serving
Once a landlord files an eviction lawsuit, Florida law entitles the case to summary procedure — meaning the court moves fast, and so does service. YM Doc Services serves eviction summonses and complaints throughout Central Florida with same-day and rush options, so your case isn’t the thing holding up the timeline.
What We Serve
- Eviction summonses and complaints (unlawful detainer)
- Writs of possession
- Related landlord-tenant litigation documents
Looking for the notice you send before filing suit — a 3-day notice for nonpayment, or a 7-day notice to cure? See our Three-Day & Other Notices page — that’s a separate, earlier step from the lawsuit itself.

FAQ
Do eviction cases move faster than regular civil lawsuits?
Yes. Landlords are entitled to the summary procedure under Fla. Stat. § 51.011 when filing for possession, and the court is required to advance the case on the calendar. (Fla. Stat. § 83.59(2))
Is serving the notice the same as serving the lawsuit?
No — they’re two separate steps. The notice (like a 3-day notice) comes first and doesn’t involve the court. If the tenant doesn’t comply, the landlord then files a lawsuit, and that summons and complaint is what gets served next. We handle both, as separate services.
