Is it legal to open mail addressed to your address but someone that doesn't live there?

Obviously, asking for a friend.

If it's in your box, you own it.

How’s gonna know or punish you? I opened some recently then mailed it to the old occupant’s new address listed in the letter.

I received my only Christmas card by doing this one year. I even put it up on my fridge. A very nice family photo.

I believe that is not only illegal, but a federal crime because it involves the mail. But like someone else said, how would they know?

Speaking as a rural carrier, if I put a letter in your box and it didn't belong to you and you opened it, no crime committed, no jail time.. just politely replace 'opened' mail back in the box and raise the flag, I'll get it to the right address second time around..

If you have to ask, id assume its the wrong thing to do

dude who sold me my house 17 years ago is being sued by Florida parishes bank. I open up their demand letters to him when they come.
I feel like if that’s their best effort to find the dude and collect their 750K then they get what they deserve

I've been living in my house for 14 years and still get mail for the prior owners.. I get mail about twice week and there is always something for them. I did get the guys tax registration for his car and did nothing about it because I have no idea where they moved.. They were kind of dicks about repairs they did to the house before I made the deal.. So eff them..

If it’s to my address, I open it. If it’s important enough I’ll look the person up on facebook and tell them they received something important but that has only happened once

I get several of them a year addressed to people who I have no idea who they are. I've been in this house since 1992 and the previous owner lived here from the time the house was built in the 1930's, so only 2 owners of this house.
I just pitch them in the garbage can since the mail I'm getting is mainly junk mail to begin with.
I do occasionally get some mail for the same numbered address, but one street over and I will take it to that house and drop it in their mailbox or clip it to my box for the mailman to deliver it to the right address.

The previous owner of our new house has gotten easily 10-15 packages delivered. The first couple of weeks, we texted her and she had family come pick them up.
When it continued happening 1-2 months in, we gave up. I finally opened 3 of them the other day, and they were all the exact same thing. I guess she ordered it and when she didn't receive, got them to send another which came to us, and then when that didn't arrive did it again. Three boxes of replacement liquid for Dawn dish spray.

Sure why not... My guess it's probably junk mail delivered to the previous owners. My old house I got mail for the previous owners all the time. 100% of it was junk. I even got junk mail for the previous, previous owners

I "mysteriously" keep getting Hustler magazines sent to my address in someone else's name, much to my wife's chagrin.

I’m always interested to see what the neighbors get from Amazon and i just tape it back up and say it came like that

They can’t prove intent. They are not going to waste resources on prosecution

You're supposed to put "DNL RTS" on there and cross out your address. Carrier code for DOES NOT LIVE HERE - RETURN TO SENDER.

I checked out some mammogram results recently that were sent to my box.
Her boobs were healthy.

I still get Christmas cards intended for the previous owner(s) after 5 years. I display them with all my other cards from family. I figure if they went through the effort, might as well.

Is it first class mail?
