It can be served by the landlord, or anyone else, or by mail.  However, if service is contested, the landlord needs to prove it.  That is why service by a constable is preferred.

I agree with attorney Harrington.  From the landlord's perspective, the most secure method of delivery is the best.  If you are being evicted and would like the assistance of counsel, please feel free to contact my office.
