delivering a summons, complaint, notice to quit tenancy or other legal document
which must be served by handing it directly to the person named in the document.
Personal service is distinguished from "constructive service," which includes posting
the notice and then mailing a copy or publishing a summons on a person the court
has found is hiding to avoid service, and from "substituted service," which is giving
the document to someone else (another resident, a secretary or receptionist, or
other responsible adult) at the address.
