This is just incorrect. Whoever occupies the address attached to the mailbox can access it.

- mikestew 7y agoNo one is legally allowed to open a mailbox that isn’t theirs. The mailbox isn’t yours.
- bobbydroptables 7y agoThe issue isn't who owns the mailbox. It's whose mail is in it. You are absolutely allowed to open a mailbox with someone else's mail (even if it's extremely sensitive). It just needs to be your mailbox.
- colejohnson66 7y agoI mistyped. I meant, no one who isn’t living there can’t open that mailbox. And it’s a federal crime also to open mail not addressed to you.
- bobbydroptables 7y agoExactly. It's enormously insecure unless you can somehow control the next tenant or you actually think the least-enforced crime on the planet is going to stop people from invading your privacy. If you are worried about Google kicking you off of the platform you should be terrified about what your landlord can to.
- colejohnson66 7y agoNo, because I can sue my landlord if they don’t evict me properly. I can’t sue google for banning me.
- bobbydroptables 7y agoMost evictions are proper. Most tenants don't fight back, regardless. To be clear my complaints about mail are not about protecting well off yuppies who are going to be suing their landlords for improper eviction. Many people are housing insecure, disabled, homeless, etc. You're basically removing all of these people from the system.
