this one surprised me "If it's merchandise (ie. Amazon sent you a package that was intended for someone else) you can keep it!"

TLDR

  • Notify the old tenant to setup mail forwarding.
  • Send the old mail to the previous tenant if you have their forwarding address.
  • Return the mail and write "Not at this address" on the envelope.

Mail already received

The awesome thing about the postal service is that it accounts for mis-delivery. The easiest thing you can do is:

  1. Write "Not at this address" on the envelope or package.
  2. Put the envelope or package back into circulation by dropping it off in a collection box, mailbox, or at a postal office.

If you receive mail by a private courier (such as UPS or Fedex), you have a couple of options:

  1. Refuse the delivery.
  2. Contact the courier.
  3. If it's merchandise (ie. Amazon sent you a package that was intended for someone else) you can keep it!
