West Virginia HB4570 allows landlords to serve eviction notices by posting them on rental properties if tenants refuse personal service.
West Virginia HB4570 amends the state's landlord-tenant law to allow landlords to serve eviction notices by posting them on the front door of rental units if tenants refuse to accept personal service. This method must be accompanied by photographic evidence and necessary filings. The bill also permits service by publication in accordance with state civil procedure rules. This change aims to ensure landlords can legally notify tenants of eviction proceedings even when tenants are unavailable for personal service.
