Residential Unlawful Detainer: Eight Service Stages

For self-represented landlords and tenants. Choose the exact stage you already need. We do not choose forms or remedies, calculate deadlines, recommend strategy, or represent you.

Start the Case only. After filing, Ven Document Services LLC can provide a free referral to an independent process server; the provider's fee is separate and paid directly to the provider.

Additional stages require manual review of the record, current form, and county court or sheriff instructions before a contract is offered or payment is accepted.

Government and provider charges are separate from our service fee.
