I don't know what the circumstances are in this situation. If your mail is delivered to your landlord to give to you, then he can give it to someone else to give to you, as long as that's what happens. It is illegal to steal mail, regardless of how it was delivered by the post office.

You may have to ask the post office these kinds of questions, however, because each situation may differ.

There is no State or Federal or United States Postal Service law prohibiting the landlord from doing as you stated in the question. Even if the landlord is going into your mailbox for no apparent reason, while it may be a violation of personal privacy, the mailbox box is on his/her property, and, technically speaking, he/she may do with it as he/she wishes. If you are away from your rented home, and you neglected to "stop" delivery of your mail via your local Post Office, and the mail is overflowing the box, then the landlord has a right to keep his/her property as neat and orderly as he/she wishes, including removing your mail and holding onto it. And, though it would be perfectly logical for him/her to have someone bring you that mail, I'm wondering why, if you're still a tenant, didn't you pick it up yourself, and, for that matter, how did the landlord know where to deliver it to you, if you're not at home to pick it up yourself? If you are sick or otherwise disabled and cannot pick up the mail yourself, you should be grateful to have the landlord help you, as many would not do so.

Can someone with a Power of attorney for someone who inherited his mothers property evict without notice if he sells property in Ohio?

The person in the property (the tenant) will have a lease. This is a legal document which sets out how the tenant may be evicted (but can not ignore the federal or state laws that may also apply). This lease is between the tenant and the landlord (whoever the landlord may be) and it will normally specify a period of notice that the landlord MUST give the tenant if the landlord wishes to evict the tenant. So look at the lease and get an attorney if you are worried.

Do you still have to pay your landlord if house is for sale?

If your landlord is selling the house you have to continue paying the rent for it, whether to the old landlord or to the new one. Your old landlord will give you notice about when they have sold the property, and the new landlord will give you instructions on how to pay them the rent.


What can you do if your landlord refuses to give you back your security deposit because you lost your receipt?

If your landlord accepted the security deposit from you he must return to you unless he have legal grounds to keep all or part of the security deposit. I don't think that the loss of your receipt for the security deposit is enough to allow your landlord to keep it. Thus you can sue him.


Can the landlord terminate a lease agreement if the landlord has sold the property?

This would depend upon the terms of the lease, but generally depend on why the landlord wants to terminate the lease. If the tenant violated the terms of the lease then the landlord can terminate the lease after proper warning or after proper notice is given. Otherwise the landlord has to wait until the lease expires and can choose not to renew.

Is there a law requiring a landlord to give a walk through before keeping a tentants deposit?

There is no law requiring a landlord to give a walk through before keeping a deposit. However, if the landlord did not give a walk through, it is easy for the tenant to argue that the landlord is lying because there is no proof that the damage being claimed by the landlord really existed at move-out.


How do you evict someone who is not paying rent and living with you?

Can i help people given legal adive even I'm not a solicitor?

Anyone can give legal advice. However, you have to be careful. If you charge someone for a legal opinion then you can be sued for your advice-even if you do not claim to be a legal expert. Even if you give someone advice, I would always advise 'this is just an opinion and they should seek professional legal advice'.
