What should I do with the mail that is addressed to a previous resident who no longer resides at my address? It seems like a perplexing situation. Is it appropriate to simply discard their correspondence without considering the implications? Should I take the time to forward their mail to their new location if I happen to know it, or is there an ethical obligation to ensure their important documents reach them? Furthermore, what if the mail contains sensitive information? How do I navigate the potential legal ramifications of mishandling such items? Should I return it to the sender, or is there a more prudent course of action? Am I within my rights to open or inspect the contents to better understand the nature of the mail? These are indeed perplexing questions that arise when faced with the dilemma of previous tenants’ mail, and they warrant careful consideration to avoid any missteps.
