Trusting a Neighbor With Your Mail

For many apartment dwellers without roommates, having a neighbor collect the mail while out of town is the most convenient option.

Rather than have your local post office hold your mail, you can take advantage of the fact that neighbors can access your building and check your mail, and you can keep in touch with a neighbor to learn about important items that arrive in your absence.

Here's how to get a reliable neighbor to collect your mail, so you can feel confident you'll get all your mail and avoid problems when you need to go away.
