"It depends". If the tenant just locked the doors and left at the end of a lease, gave you the keys, and said nothing about the items, the facts say the tenant intentionally abandoned the items and you can do with them what you want unless your state law says otherwise. If the tenant said anything, that's different. If the lease is not over and the tenant is expected back, that may also be different. You state may have specific laws about abandoned property too.

If the tenant has abandoned the property, moved and legally ended their tenancy, if the landlord owns the mailbox, he may return the mail to the post office UNOPENED.

The landlord, as the owner of the property does have the right to tell the post office the recipient may no longer receive the mail, HOWEVER, he must not destroy the mail or complete a forwarding order, etc.
Can a landlord file burglary charges after you have moved out of the unit?
Once you have moved out of your rental unit, as symbolized by the return of the key, you are no longer allowed in that unit. Even if you have a duplicate key, you are returning the unit to the landlord by virtue of the fact that you are handing that landlord such key or number of keys you were issued. This allows the landlord to rent out the unit or to prepare it for rent. Therefore burglary charges can be filed against you if you are found trying to reenter the unit.
When serving a writ of possession can they come in my house when I'm not at home?
To cut to the chase, yes. When a writ of possession is being served, the Law Enforcement Agency will first post a notice to vacate, which will identify when they will take possession of the property (about a week after the notice.). When they take possession, the landlord or their agent will accompany or meet the Law Enforcement Officer (LEO). The LEO will ensure the peace, while the Landlord takes possession, if necessary the LEO will remove the tenant, then usually the landlord changes the locks. If the tenant is home, they will be ordered off the property, and removed if necessary. If they resist they may be jailed. If they return it is trespassing. If the tenant is not home, the landlord usually has a locksmith open the property and change the locks. If the tenant still has stuff on the premises which has not, and cannot immediately be removed, each state has procedures for storing left behind property, giving notice, time limits, and selling, or disposing of abandoned property.
