Am I obligated to forward mail?

[Fred Cannon]

I have converted a couple of units to short term rentals. My new tenants normally do not receive mail as they are usually moving on to next contract within 90 days. I recently checked the mail box and it was jammed full of mail from my last yearly tenant. Is there a legal requirement for me to forward the mail. He has been gone for 6 months.

Bundle it together or throw it in a bag. Take it to the nearest Post Office. Let them know the individual does not reside there and that you don't have a forwarding address. They will handle returning it and they will shut off any future mail to that individual.
