At least three days' written notice to vacate is required unless the lease differs. A landlord can mail it, leave it inside the home in a conspicuous place, or hand it to a tenant aged 16 or up, and a private server can handle that delivery.

Divorce Papers, Citations and Substituted Service for Weimar Defendants
Personal delivery and registered or certified mail with a return receipt are the usual ways to serve a citation. If neither works, a Rule 106(b) motion supported by a sworn statement of the attempts lets the court approve something else. A corporation's president or vice president can accept for it, as can its registered agent. The ten-day default wait begins when proof of service is filed.
