Yes, there are many reasons your mail can be withheld, both legal and procedural. However, the USPS cannot unilaterally seize mail without cause. Normally the agency involved is the Postal Inspection Service.

The delivery of mail can be suspended due to reasons of safety, accessibility, or failure to provide a proper receptacle.

Yes, the post office can withhold your mail for various reasons, such as if there are concerns about the safety or delivery of the mail. This may happen if there are outstanding fees, incorrect address information, or if the mail is deemed undeliverable.

Can an apartment complex withhold your mail?

Yes, in the U.S. this is a federal offense, and you should file a complaint with the local postmaster. Also, many courts have found this to be a breach of the tenant's quiet enjoyment. However, you should always file a change of address card with the post office or ask it to hold your mail for a later pick up. If you don't trust your landlord you should rent a post office box and have your mail held at the post office.
