Process Service for Landlords & Property Managers in Hampton Roads.
Documented process service for property teams that need dependable attempts, clear updates, and a clean record from assignment through return.
Choose the service tier, enter the recipient and property details, upload the service documents, and submit securely through the CoVa Serve order portal.
Reliable service support for rental-property matters.
Property work comes with dates, addresses, occupants, access issues, and multiple people who need to know what happened. CoVa Serve is built around making that operational side easier to track.
Service aligned to the timeline.
Provide the hearing date, deadline, or urgency when you submit the assignment so the service level can be matched to the matter before fieldwork begins.
Clear status without constant follow-up.
Attempt history and status notes are documented so your staff is not repeatedly calling or emailing just to learn whether the address was worked.
A cleaner record for the property file.
Completed and unsuccessful attempts are documented, with return or proof paperwork handled according to the issued process and applicable requirements.
Options when the listed address is not enough.
Locate research, address review, strategic attempt windows, and surveillance-supported field time are available when an occupant has moved or a subject is difficult to reach.
Recurring property work with less friction.
Management companies and recurring clients can request a volume account with standing instructions, centralized billing, and a more consistent submission workflow.
One point of contact across Hampton Roads.
Core coverage includes the Seven Cities and Peninsula, with additional Virginia assignments reviewed and quoted before acceptance.
Common property-related documents we support.
CoVa Serve handles lawful civil process and document service when private service is permitted. We do not select the document, calculate notice periods, or provide legal advice.
Unlawful detainer process
Court-issued unlawful detainer papers and related civil process served for landlords, management companies, and counsel where private service is permitted.
Rental-property notices
Delivery of landlord and tenant-related notices when appropriate, with documented attempt or delivery information based on the assignment instructions.
Summons, notices & hearing papers
Tenant-related civil papers handled with clear updates, documented attempts, and attention to the service instructions provided with the matter.
Moved or uncertain occupants
Address review and locate support for stale information, changed residences, uncertain occupancy, or subjects who are difficult to reach.
Guarantor, entity & registered-agent service
Service on businesses, guarantors, registered agents, and other recipients connected to property-related civil disputes.
Time-sensitive civil process
Deadline-driven assignments routed through routine, rush, locate, or evasive service based on urgency and subject difficulty.
CoVa Serve is a process-service provider, not a law firm. The client remains responsible for selecting the correct document, timing, method requested, and legal procedure. Assignments that require a sheriff, law-enforcement officer, court-designated official, or another specifically authorized person are declined or referred when private service is not permitted.
Submit once. We’ll take it from there.
The property-service workflow mirrors the main CoVa Serve ordering process: one secure portal from assignment details through document upload.

Built for teams managing more than one file.
For property managers and rental operators sending recurring assignments, CoVa Serve can establish a streamlined relationship around submission, billing, contacts, and standing instructions.
Consistent submission
Recurring property assignments can follow one established intake path instead of starting from scratch with every file.
Centralized billing
Keep service activity and billing organized around the management company or portfolio rather than isolated one-off transactions.
Portfolio visibility
Authorized staff can maintain a clearer view of active assignments, attempt history, and status across multiple properties.
Standing instructions
Recurring contacts, property notes, billing preferences, and operational instructions can be established and applied consistently.
