Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California
Ex-roommate evading service of claim
Taking ex-roommate to small claims court here in San Diego, CA, for return of my security deposit. She (with help of co-workers) is evading service. I have requested the Sheriff to serve her, but how can I assure she will get served? Can people just keep evading service?

yes they can try. I believe in small claims cannot serve by publication, you may have to file in regular court and then request the extra fees.
