If I want to evict my tenant for not paying rent. The state of Arizona state required the landlord to send the letter via Registered or Certified Mail to the tenant.
Why can't we use Fed-Ex for this? Fed-Ex does indeed collect a signature when the letter arrives to the tenant.
The Arizona Landlord Handbook Act states that in a court of law, only a Registered or Certified Mail letter is appropriate... SO what if I sent it Fed-Ex and recieved my tenant's signature.. The court won't allow this as proof?
PLs help!
Thanks in advance!!
Arizona residential landlord tenant law also allows the landlord to deliver the five day notice by registered or certified mail with return receipt requested.

You cannot use Fed-Ex because it is not a government agency.

Well, actually, what you need is proof that you have SERVED the notice to the party. Since Fed-Ex, does do this, it should be acceptable. BUT, you need to make sure that Fed-Ex actually gets a signature and doesn't leave it using a release number. This won't work for your proof of service. I would call YOUR courthouse and see what they think about using Fed-Ex. I prefer them, myself, and have used them for service and at our local courthouse, it was accepted. Good Luck!
