If it's a mail box for all the tenants then the landlord has the right (and perhaps responsibility) to distribute the mail accordingly.
Unless the mail box is exclusively yours, no one else has mail delivered in it you should not be given a key.
Unless you need access to the lobby to get to your unit you should not have a key to that either.
I don't see why they wouldn't. That being said, if you are a dormer or roomer (not a full tenant), this will be handled very differently since you will have multiple people all sharing a common mailbox.
Contact or walk into your local post office for clarification.
Yes it is a federal crime to keep your mail from you or to tamper with it in anyway. If they are not giving you access to your mail then file a report with the post office. If all mail for all tenants goes to the same box then that's different.
I talked to a buy 2 mo ago, who buys houses on spec and he claims a horrendous activity is unfolding soon around many new
home sub-divisions;; that that all mail will be held at a major
unattended site --just like condos and townhouses and
some apts have...........
how dumb can a system be!!!
luck to u
I rented a room at a live/work loft - I need the lobby and mail key but my landlord wont let me have the keys - are there any place I can find out about my tenants rights?
