    Hi all, didn't want to derail the other thread so what is the story with other people's post? We keep getting some former tenants mail and because it's junking up the box I just bin them - am I wrong? What should you be doing?

    You can return it/notify AnPost:

    From http://www.anpost.ie/AnPost/MainContent/Customer+Service/cust-howwehelp.htm:
    I am receiving someone else's mail

    If you are receiving mail for someone else, please let us know and we will try and resolve it.

    Why is this happening?

    * There may have been a previous occupant at the address who has not redirected their mail or changed their address.
    * By law we have to deliver the mail to the stated address (not the named person).

    Solution: Return the item to us.

    * Mark the item ‘Return to sender’ and put it into a Post Box.
    * If it is convenient, please help us by putting it through the correct letterbox. If this happens frequently, please let us know and we will try to resolve it.
    * You can re-post the item in a Post Box, or give it to your Postperson
    * If you are a business, we can send out an An Post Postperson to collect bags of mail.

    Please report delivery problems using our online mails enquiry form or you can download a copy of our mails enquiry form (pdf new window).

    Write "no longer lives here" on it and throw it into any post box.

    I always write 'not at this address' on it and throw it back inthe post box. I wouldn't throw it out although it can get very irritating when it's a lot coming in.

    Depending on the situation, I've either written 'Not known at this address' or 'No longer at this address', the latter if a housemate has moved out and not provided a forwarding address, and put it in the postbox.

    Stricly speaking, you should mark it "not at this addres" and put it back in the post box. However, it can get very frustrating when the sender continues to send the email and it goes on for years. I get a letter at least once a week for someone who had not lived at the address for at least 10 years.
