wackycitrus | Is it illegal for a landlord to not provide me a key to my mailbox? Ive repeatedly for a key and nothing? |
Ive asked both verbally many times and in writing 3 times. He promises to get me a key by this date and when the date passes he comes up with some lame excuse & they promises me that I'll have it by the end of the week or next week. What can I do?? Ive already had to hold rent until I got my heater fixed... that took almost 3 weeks!!
And to make matters worse, since I dont have access to my mail, apparently a check a friend wrote me bounced which in turn made my rent check bounce. I called my bank this morning to figure out what exactly happened, and if I had access to my mail, I would have known about the bounced check & could have moved funds from another account to cover it before it went through. Now Im stuck with the returned check charge (both on my end & theirs) the late charge fee, and the day(s) over charge fee(s). I feel like its unfair that I have to pay all of this because it would have been prevented had I had access to my mail. Am I wrong? What can I do to get my mail?? |

Exactly why I rent a box at the post office. When we had a problem, the landlord said it was the post office, not him. What a crock!
You need to look at these RENTERS RIGHTS:

Mail Boxes are owned by the USPS so they should have a key for you. I know when I first bought my house with a community box I had to go to the PO to get a key. A locksmith can't change the lock since it's government property. |

NO! You are not wrong, the landlord is wrong. You should have received all keys when you signed your lease and moved in. You have evidently lived there for over a month. Where is your mail going? Is the post office just holding it? You do know (without written request from you) the post office doesn't just hold your mail. It will be returned to sender.
I don't know if it's against the law for the landlord not to allow you access to the mail, but it is one of weirdest things I have heard in a long time.
I guess at this point, I would take the bounced check letters and everything else you have to the landlord and show it to him/her and ask what they plan on doing about it since you can't pick up your mail?
On the other hand, I would never have gone this long without my mail. I would have been going to the post office to pick it up. How do you pay your bills? That's why all of this just seems a bit strange to me. |

Contact the better business bureau and report this awful landlord. Take your landlord to small claims court if they won't pay the costs. You are the wronged party in this particular situation.
If you could afford somewhere better, I would. This isn't going to be a good experience.

I'd call USPS. When the box gets too full, then what? |

Hire a lock smith to open the box for you, change the lock if possible, and provide you with a key. DOCUMENT EVERYTHING. Charge your landlord for the lock smith bill. If he balks, take him to small claims court.
Good luck.
Second thought - an alternative to that whole mess. Rent a PO box from your postoffice. Try to get your landlord to pay for that. Small claims court again if he won't, but at least you'll know exactly where your mail is going... |

If you have a lease agreement, you can go to the post office and get a key to your mailbox. That would be easier and quicker than waiting for your landlord. |

Check the state code of the state you live in. For instance, I live in Ohio, and the rules governing this are in the Ohio Revised Code, available on the ohio.gov websites.
I used to be a Landlord and know the laws here fairly well. Even if you signed something that states that you received the key, there should be SOMETHING in your lease that makes a provision for a new one. Even if it says you have to pay for it.
Write you Landlord a letter and put footnote that says "CC:" (for courtesy copy) and then the name of an attorney you COULD work with...note that I said could work with! You don't have to hire the attorney to take your case before you write the letter, but its a good idea to use the one you would write into that footnote.
I believe your Landlord is in the wrong. Start gettting things in writing and get a P.O. Box until you get this resolved. When you write him, used certified mail so he has to sign for it. |

Tell him you're going to have a key made and taking the cost off the rent. Go to post office and have them hold your mail there and pick it up yourself. Stop paying rent until he takes care of this. Keep records of all communications with the ahole. Pick one !! Good Luck!!~:)= |

I'm not sure where you are writing from, but in Canada and the US withholding mail and/or denying access to your mail is not only illegal but is a federal offence. You should not pay a dime more rent. You should move. You should also report your building/landlord to your local Rental/Tenancy board (look in the phone book for tenant rights). Very little you can do about the bank, they don't care. You do have rights in this situation, but you are up against a very poor system. You may be happier just moving and trying a new building/landlord (scum lords have a million reasons/ways to get out of helping you). You've already spent a ton of time frustrated about your mail. How much more time will it take before it would have been easier to just move? If moving is not an option you should complain to the building owner and local tenancy association, which do exist to help protect you. Hope this helps, good luck. |

send him a letter stating that you have sent other letters, state that you will go to court and put the rent in escrow that he cannot touch until resolved.Mail certified always. |
