I just moved into an apartment two months ago, and I've been getting mail for someone who I'm assuming was the previous tenant. The return addresses for some indicate they are from an insurance company, another was a federal letter from social security, and there's a tax return document among others. I was throwing out what looked like junk mail with their name, but this seems important. I have no way of contacting the person, and they have not sent anything or had me contacted to retrieve the mail. I'm sure they dont know it's coming here. Is there somewhere I can take it or have it sent so someone can get it to them? Or should I just throw it out??

I would not throw it away b/cause if it is something important and it is in the trash and gets found or someone finds out you threw it away I think you could get in trouble. I would take it to the nearest post office and they should be able to look the person up on the computer for their new address. I get other people's mail all the time and I just give it to the post master and he/she gets it there usually. Hope this helps.

Don't throw it out, that could cause problems. I would leave it for your mail carrier and write "return to sender" or take it to the post office and let them know in person, see what they can do. The other thing you could do is let your landlord know, maybe they have a fowarding address.

Draw a line through the address. Mark it "not this address". Drop in mailbox. Forget it. The Postal Service will either forward it or return it to the sender.

what you is this: get a black marker and black out the postal barcodes on the front and back of envelope (not always on the back) also black out the zip code too. Then write on the envelope "return to sender, no longer at this address" If you dont do all three steps it gets sorted my a machine and will end up back at your place. and the company will get it back, at least then they will know they cant reach them there.You could also speak to your apartment manager and see if they have a forwarding address, maybe to send them their deposit back or sumthin. Then they can send it to them

Just write "return to sender" "does not live here" and put it back in your mailbox. This way it will be sent back to the sender and they will know that the person never got the mail.

unsure approximately canada regulation, yet interior the states if mail is dropped at somebody elses residing house, they DON"T could return it and you will open it.. I open up mail that is composed of my residing house no remember if it is not mine, just to make confident it is not unsolicited mail for different peoples. I in no way return unsolicited mail, i in basic terms toss it. i think of which would be why you mail replaced into open.

Make one line thru the name/address and write "Not at this address".
Put back in the mail for pick up.

simply write on the envelope "Not at this address" & drop it back in the outgoing mail box.

This happens to me a lot. I simply take it to the post office and let them handle it.
