Yes, but he or she doesn't actually have to hand over the keys until your lease begins.

Yes, it is. Why do you ask?
Added:
After further correspondence, the post office does not maintain individual mailboxes. They require apartments with six or more units to have locked boxes to which they have access to the block. The maintenance and repair of the individual boxes is the responsibility of the landlord. This is from the post office, so no state or locality reg would really apply or be available.
Chances are that the key was lost and the landlord doesn't want to pay for a locksmith to make a new one and is hoping to pass this cost on to the tenant counting on ignorance to the reg.

Yes. Check with your locality's landlord tenant laws.
You may be required to pay an additional deposit for the keys, but you should have your keys when you sign the lease.

because it grow to be the owner's decision to returned out on the final minute, she is entitled to no component of the deposit and would in actuality be answerable for lots greater advantageous than the quantity of the deposit. It relies upon on the state. Take her to small claims.

yes you should get a set of keys one to apartment and one to mailbox but if you did not then ask them for a set to your mailbox.

Not necessarily, if the last tenants did not turn over the keys, the post office had to rekey the lock. It is your mail, they make you do it.
Thatis what happened to me.

yes it is but if you lose it they can charge you for a replacement so i use to tell people to get extras made because we had a 25.00 lock out fee if i had to go open a door and 5.00 to open a mail box wasn't my rule but the real estate company i worked for
