Not sure if this is the right forum, but here goes.
I moved into this property about 7/8 months ago, and initially returned mail to sender. From the return addresses, a lot of it seemed to be debt-related. Given the volume of mail coming through addressed to various ex-residents, I stopped doing this after a while and just chucked it.
Is there any legal obligation on me to forward/return mail to the sender or contact the sender?

The obligation is not to cause detriment by opening/disposing of someone else mail. As you have no forwarding address, and the mail continue to arrive you are allowed to open/dispose of the mail.
You may wish to simply write on a few letters, "RTS - previous tenant moved out over 12 months ago". I did this a few times and it actually worked.Although no trees were harmed during the creation of this post, a large number of electrons were greatly inconvenienced.
There are two ways of constructing a software design: One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies0
