What this service covers
Massachusetts eviction cases are commonly called summary process. After the tenancy is properly terminated, a landlord may begin a court case and the summons and complaint must be served by an authorized constable or sheriff. We provide service logistics; we do not select forms or calculate legal deadlines.

- Housing Court papers
- Landlord notices
- Court-issued housing documents

Our workflow
Send complete papers and instructions. We review the address, timing, document type, and requested method; confirm acceptance and pricing; perform the accepted assignment; and provide material status and applicable completion documentation.
Eviction document service is deadline-sensitive
Massachusetts eviction work can involve several different documents at different stages. A Notice to Quit is not the same as a Summary Process Summons and Complaint, and later court notices are not interchangeable with either one. The document itself, the tenancy, and the stage of the case determine what service instructions apply.
When requesting service in New Bedford, provide the complete papers, all named tenants or occupants, the exact unit address, any court date or deadline, and counsel’s service instructions. If the building has controlled access or a multi-unit layout, include lawful details that help identify the correct unit without disclosing unnecessary personal information.
Keep the notice and court stages separate
A landlord should preserve copies of each document and proof associated with each stage. Serving a pre-suit notice does not mean a court case has been filed, and filing a case does not by itself authorize physical removal. Only the lawful court process can lead to an execution and enforcement.
Because eviction rules and forms can change, use current Massachusetts court resources and instructions. For New Bedford matters, the Southeast Housing Court – New Bedford Session is an important local resource.
