Mail for previous Tenant

If it was 'ordinary' mail, I might be inclined to forward, but certainly not if you are receiving DVLA, HMRC communications. These really ought to go to the correct address by the previous tenant and I would simply write "not known, return to sender" and stick in the post box. How do you know it is not someone else entirely trying some kind of scam / identity fraud?Antbell85 said:I received a message in the post - handwritten note from who I suppose is the previous tenant asking if there was any mail for him and where to forward it to. The note said that I could drop it off at his brothers who lives a few doors down. I was not in at the time.
There are some important looking documents - Driving, HMRC - should I return to sender or ask the Landlord what to do?1 -
Drop off to the brother, this one time only, ask him to tell his bruv that any more post that arrives for him will be returned to sender...No free lunch, and no free laptop

I'd be inclined to ask the brother for ID.No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0

Return to sender.0

Have a read of the parking board and consider how much time is wasted as a result of people not receiving their mail. It is not just the mail recipients time that is wasted.0

Be a nice neighbour.Go round to the brother's address. Ask politely for ID, give him the mail, and ask him to ask his brother to inform DVLA (and others) or his new address and/or arrange RM redirection.Tenant might be sofa-surfing temporarily making post difficult - why not help out?1
