Well, as for opening mail that is not addressed to you -- no you can
not legally do that without currently valid permission.
Now, I suppose you could refuse to pay the bills until you are
provided with an original copy or maybe you could demand you be
included on the address label. This is difficult because this dispute
is between two roommates. You two will have to come to some agreement
or agree to terminate your roommate relationship.
This goes deeper than just not being able to open the bills. You two
have a fundamental difference that is going to make being roommates
impossible. Either fix your differences or call it quits. As for who
can sue who and who can make a criminal case against who -- I don't
know. Just settle it between two adults or spend a fortune in
attorney's fees to settle in court.
