My mailbox is always full of other people's mail that used to live here but now dont. Is there a way to stop their mail from coming here like through the post office or something?

Some mail, especially catalogs are adressed to the former resident's name OR current resident. There's not much you can do about current resident mail except thow it away.
If it is not marked current resident, it's a good idea to give your carrier a list of who lives at your residence so that the other mail can be returned or sent to the recycling center. It wouldn't hurt to call 1-800-ASK-USPS in addition so that the delivery supervisor is notified by email of your complaint.
You'd be surprised by the number of people who move and never notify the post office. On apartment routes especially, it can be very difficult for a carrier to know who lives there and who has moved out. I once served such a route where I had 740 deliveries and over 2000 forward orders from former residents. It was hard to remember who lived there and who had moved, so the basic rule was, "when in doubt, take it out".

I put a little sticky note on the inside of my mail box that has the last names of the people in my house. That didnt work well so I started crossing out the address and put "return to sender, no longer at address". This cut down on it a lot. These are what the postoffice in my area told me to do. You still might get some mail for other people but it shouldnt be as bad.

Nope, i'm afraid you're completely incorrect in all factors right here. you haven't any longer have been given the "suitable" to proceed receiving mail there; you will desire to have it fowarded. you may, of direction, enter right into a written contract with the tenant to permit you to do this, or contain it on your hire words (in case you may then discover a renter who needs to hire from you like that), yet once you haven't any longer executed this then you definately have not have been given any rights to the mailbox. The mailbox is blanketed in the premises to which your tenant has the main appropriate of non violent entertainment; your meddling may be a breach of the hire settlement on your section. they did no longer commit any form of criminal act by utilising struggling with the mail. they did no longer commit a criminal act by utilising mendacity to you. So, what you "think of" and what's the regulation are 2 countless issues right here.

write on the envelope, "return to sender, no longer at this address" that should work, also contact your post office, and make sure no more letters come through.

Contact your local postmaster and tell him or her about the problem.

Get to know your mailman or woman and make sure they know your name.
