Tenant Keeps Coming Back to Get Their Mail, Bothering Tenant

I have a townhome rental and the former tenant has come back several times to get mail that is still being sent there. I bought the house vacant and BRRR'd it so she was never my tenant and I don't know her. I want to get her to stop coming to the home and bothering my tenant but trying to understand if she's breaking the law by accessing the property uninvited and/or touching my current tenants mail, and if i have any legal responsibility to give her her mail. I'm assuming she's at least trespassing on the property but any guidance on what grounds I have to get her to stop would be appreciated (maybe there's a lawyer or two on here). Thanks!

This isn't your problem it is the tenants. You should tell them to simply talk to her first, and if it is an ongoing issue they should discuss the legal options with local post office and possibly police. But top your point you were never even a LL to this unknown tenant so don't create involvement for yourself where non currently exists.
