Andy G | Is it illegal to destroy my previous house owners mail? |
It's been a year and a half since our home's previous owners moved out and we are still receiving a lot of their mail. Can I just throw it in the bin? What are my legal obligations?
Any advice appreciated, thanks. |

In the US it is illegal. You give it to the post office and they deal with it. Just put it back in the outgoing mail and write "no such person at address" on the envelope. |

Mark it 'Not known at this address' and sling it back in the box - still doing this with mine three years on. |

Not known at this address, and put it back in the box. If it comes back again ...sling it in the bin. |

Just strike a bold black line through the address (with a magic marker - leaving the address messed-up but readable) and put it in your out-going mail. |

I'm not saying I know the law about it, BUT if you keep it and it's from a mailing house, then the post will just keep coming. By sending it back, the mailing house has to remove that person from the list or it can be considered harrassment of you because you didn't ask for it. You could also use the sites below to register the previous occupant to stop some of their mail coming to your home. If you get unwanted mail in your name, you can stop these, too, by making your preferences known on the sites below, if you are in the UK (the USA has the same type of sites as do most countries, so run a search for the Direct Marketing Association--I used to live in the USA and now I live in England so I've used both).
Personally, I'd just stick theirs back in the post next time I went to the post office in case they are being hunted by creditors or legal agencies who might show up at my door asking why I didn't return the letters when they weren't mine.
Good luck. |

I bought my house 20 years ago and STILL occasionally get something for the previous owner. For the first year, I sent it back. After that, I just started pitching it in the trash. |

Best to try "return to sender" if it continues to come, then throw it in the bin. |

I still get mail from the previous owner of my house. I just throw it away. Its up to them to get their mail redirected. |

Mark on the envelope, not at this address and put it back out. I still get my tenants mail and it's been 2 years. |

Personally i would just write "not known at this address" or "return to sender"and put it back into the post box. Most letters now days have the senders address on the back of the envelopes, so let the companies find the last owners. |

Its not illegal to take it out of the box. Its only illegal when you open it. so go ahead and throw it away or you can write moved on it and drop it back in your box with red flag up. |
