PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.

The tenant certainly does. As long as the LL is there of course, or another tenant.
Clearly the LL is just being a complete a$$. No surprise.Hi, we’ve had to remove your signature. If you’re not sure why please read the forum rules or email the forum team if you’re still unsure - MSE ForumTeam0 -

what right is this? just the general right that you perceive they should have? clearly they have no legal basis for entering the property to pick up mail regardless of who is in the property at the time they knock on the door.0 -

What right does the LL have for withholding, on purpose, tenants post?
I fail to see what the problem is here. Tenant turns up, LL gives post that is rightfully theirs.Hi, we’ve had to remove your signature. If you’re not sure why please read the forum rules or email the forum team if you’re still unsure - MSE ForumTeam0 -

in an ideal world yes, as i said there's nothing to stop anyone knocking on the door and asking for it.
obviously this might not pan out as expected. for instance, as your posting history shows, if someone came to your house to get their mail that had been delivered to your address, you'd reply "sorry, i opened all your post even though it clearly wasn't addressed to me, and burned its contents. good day."
or maybe not, maybe you'd let them in so they could see for themselves that there was no post for them. after all, they'd have a right to come in and get it, in your eyes.0 -

They have the right to access their mail, not the property.
If the LL is, on purpose, stopping them from doing so, then that is a serious issue. Especially if the mail contains something important. E.G bank statements.Hi, we’ve had to remove your signature.

however pragmatically and leaving all the theoretical arguements aside (you aren't going to call in a solcitor or hire heavies after all, are you) - there is nothing you can do to get your mail.
