My leasing manager made a statement that she knows that I receive mail for people who do not live with me. Can she do that? How could she find out what's in my mail box with out breaking the law? What can I do?

I gather you have an unlocked mail box?

I'd put a lock on it.

You can always report her to the US Post Office but I don't know that you have proof and she will probably deny she ever said anything like this.

Maybe she asked the mailman.

Or, of course, one of the people who is getting mail but not living there may be in a legal dispute, and someone came around to serve papers and talked to the management.

Is it legal to get mail for people who don't live there? I'd think that there are some situations where that would be done to make people eligible for benefits that they aren't legally entitled to (school enrollment, etc), and thus that there might be laws against it.
