The mail is the property of the US Postal Service, and therefore of the US government, until it gets to the intended recipient. One has to wonder how the landlord got hold of the mail before the recipient did. Removing another person's mail from that person's mailbox is indeed illegal. If the mail is inside the apartment and the unit is legally closed to the tenant for whatever reason, that is different. Once mail is in the hands of the intended recipient, then the argument that denying access to it is illegal no longer holds.
If it happens while the mail is the property of the US Postal Service my guess is yes, it is illegal.
In normal circumstances the Royal Mail promises to attempt to deliver your mail. They are not allowed to deliberately with hold it without a court order.
