Former tenant being a pain in the butt
I wasn't sure where to post this, but curious what people think.
We bought a house in April that had tenants living in it. They had two months notice to move out, and we moved in July 1st. I found a note from the tenant saying that she didn't pay to have her mail forwarded by the post office, so could I keep it and call her to come pick it up. I figured why not, and for the first two weeks, I called her when she had mail and she'd come pick it up once a week.
Now, it's been two months and we're STILL getting this lady's mail. And it's important stuff like license renewals, tax info, bank statements, divorce papers. I'm starting to wonder what the hell is going on that she hasn't changed her address anywhere yet?? The last time she called, I told her I was going to start putting "return to sender" on the mail and mailing it. This week, she left me a pissy phone message that she knows her kid's school mailed out a school package and that we must have it, and to call her to arrange a pick up. I don't actually have the package, and I'm annoyed that she can't even be bothered to give her kid's school a current address.
Am I within my rights to stop responding to this lady? I'm sick of being her post office just because she's too cheap to forward her mail and too lazy to change her address. What would you suggest?
Re: Former tenant being a pain in the butt
This was my conclusion as soon I read about the school package. She is scamming to keep her kid in the better school. It is ridiculous that you should be responsible for another grown person's mail. It could very well be that she is also trying to keep her ex (or soon to be ex) from knowing her current address. In any case, not your problem or responsibility. You are well within your rights to write return to sender on all mail, especially since you already gave her a heads up.
If I were you I would just start returning to sender everything and not answer any of her phone calls or answer the door if she stops by. Sorry you have to deal with this!
However, I'm going to guess that this woman is scamming the School District. I'd Return to Sender all of her mail with MOVED in red sharpie across the front of all mail and packages. I'd also start calling places like the lawyers office, school and any government offices and tell them. If you put a taped note that your post person can see in the mailbox they will only deliver mail with the names listed.
Print up labels that have "RETURN TO SENDER" printed on them. This way, you peel off, affix to the front of the envelope and drop it in the mail. After that, it is the PO's call.
Alert the Board of Ed about this one; no town needs another out of district student:
