§ 1217 Default Service Method

When the law says you have to give someone a notice but doesn't tell you how to give it, you must use the delivery method described in Section 1215.

Key Takeaways

•If a notice is required and the law doesn’t say how to deliver it, follow Section 1215.
•Section 1215 tells you the proper ways to give the notice (e.g., personal delivery, mail).
•This rule works for any kind of paper or notice that the law says must be served.

Example

A landlord needs to send a tenant a notice about a repair, but the rules don’t say whether it should be mailed or handed over.

Because the law doesn’t specify the delivery method, the landlord must give the notice the way Section 1215 says to (like personal delivery or certified mail).

If a notice or other paper is required to be served or otherwise given and no other manner of giving the notice or other paper is specified by statute, the notice or other paper shall be delivered pursuant to Section 1215. (Amended by Stats. 2017, Ch. 319, Sec. 20. (AB 976) Effective January 1, 2018.)
