certified mail doesn't work on sending lease termination notice

[Anne Shawnnc]

I used certified mail to send a 60 days lease termination notice to tenant, the mail should arrive one week ago, but today when I check status online, it still shows in transit, so I called the post office to ask why, and get answer that the certified mail needs signature from the receiver, and when there is no person at home, mailman just leaves a notice at the door and ask them to pick up letter in post office. Obviously my tenant won't go to post office to pick it. Therefore it shows that he didn't receive the notice. This tenant is a trouble maker, I don't want to go to serve notice by myself, is there any other way to send the lease termination notice? Does email, regular mail, or text message work?

The certified letter has your return address on it , the tenant knows who its from and most likely what it is.  There is a trick to this , use ups or federal express , put the letter in a box that looks appealing , and have the return address  anywhere but yours , a friend , etc.  I knew a process server that use to use those stryofoam boxes that had steaks in them , people signed for them all the time .
