Comment Old tenants (Score 2) 217
We've lived in our current place for about 3 years now, and we still get at least 1 piece of mail each month for old tenants who rented our place before us!
We've gotten everything from drivers license renewal notices, vehicle registration notices, taxation letters (Australian Tax Office), voting enrollment notices, even had debt collection letters and for a few weeks even phone calls from debt collectors! (They stopped once we advised the debt collector that the old person no longer lives at the address, we don't know them and we had forwarded the matter to the police as we constitute what they are doing to us is harassment - that was after daily calls for 3 weeks asking for the person at ungodly hours, eg calls at 6am, 9pm, 6pm. The police actually did follow the matter up and advised them to stop calling/contacting us once they verified our own claims. I asked for charges to be laid, but they would only do so if they called again once the police asked them to stop).
Mind, not as bad as my mother-in-law. She has received a Christmas card for the last 20 years for the person that lived in her house prior to her. And she and her husband bought their house 20 years ago!
