    Stop getting your mail there, perhaps get a private mail box or one at the post office.

    But how is he hiding it, why does it get it anyway?

    Report him to postal authorities, interfering with the mail is a federal offense.

    If you don't have a written agreement you are on a month to month lease, but he cannot cut off utilities, and stealing your mail is a federal felony crime, call the police right away.

    He must legally evict you before he can do anything. He can't just tell you to leave. He cann't cut off any utilities, such as electric or water. As far as stealing your mail, contact the post office and report him.

    Several things, first without a written lease, he can raise your rent or evict you.
    He can not cut off your power, heat or water, and he can not take your mail legally.

    But actually he can just tell you to leave, and you are suppose to leave, that is what people do on a month to month lease, if you want it on your record that he has to take you to houseing court and evict you in court, it will make renting other places harder.
    So if you don't leave he can force you out in court, but again you are suppose to move out when he tells you to.

    You have posted the same situation twice, somewhat different scenario.

    Very confusing when you post the same thing twice, two different threads - and the info is slightly different.

    Should be combined - ?
