What conditions determine the effectiveness of service for an eviction concerning an unknown party?

1. Time of day

2. Personal service made, date of posting, or upon mail by clerk

3. Amount of notice given

4. Location of service

The correct answer is: Personal service made, date of posting, or upon mail by clerk

The effectiveness of service for an eviction concerning an unknown party is determined by established methods of notification that ensure the party is properly informed of the proceedings. Personal service made to an identifiable party is a direct way to ensure that they are aware of the action being taken against them. Additionally, the date of posting a notice on the property serves as a legal form of notification, allowing the party time to respond. Mail notifications from the clerk provide an additional avenue for ensuring that the party receives the necessary information regarding the eviction. These methods collectively fulfill legal requirements to communicate the eviction details to those parties whose identity may not be known, providing them with the opportunity to contest the eviction if desired. The other elements, while potentially relevant in other contexts, do not directly influence the legal sufficiency of informing an unknown party about an eviction, making this choice the most accurate in relation to the question posed.
