Post: Mail Tampering

Posted by Tammy Procino on 10/03/07
My mother's exhusband was living with her and I before she died but they had been divorced for 10 years. He'd been living there because she was terminally ill and was supposed to "help" me take care of her. She has since passed away and I've served him with a Tenancy Termination notice. Just before my mother passed away, I refinanced my house and was due a refund check from the mortgage company. (this is where it gets complicated) While he was living in my house he paid the house payment because that is what he agreed to do while my mother was alive and now he believes that the money in the check was his. (in a strange twist of fate, my mother died while I was at the closing for the refi) Since he hasn't vacated yet, he is still taking the mail from the mail box and opening my mail. He only gave me the check after I confronted him. Plus he realized with the check made out to me, he couldn't cash it. Was it illegal for him to open the letter and take the check? Yes he did return it several days later but it's still icky and now I'm concerned about what else he is taking out of my mail.
