My landlord wanted to move the mailbox. She duct taped the mail box & blocked the postal carrier's access. What rights do I have as a tenant?

  1. She can't do that. You have the right to remove the tape and if she causes you problems call the police. If she wants to move the mailbox, she needs to get it done after the mail has come one day and before it's time for it to come the next day.  


  2. She has no right to do that, in fact, tampering with a mail box is a federal offense.  Report her to the postal inspector.

  3. Tell the landlord you have mail that needs to be delivered and she is to provide that, unless she is putting mail boxes at each apartment.

    Moving them, ok, but I don't see why she would need to block them.
