Unsure how to proceed, she temporarily stored them with her junk mail until she was determined to resolve the issue by seeking advice.

After her research, she began annotating the envelopes with "Receiver not known at this address."

Afterwards, she paid a visit to the local post office and dropped the letters, ensuring the necessary change.

In her words:

"What do you do when you move into a property and you keep receiving letters that are addressed to the previous tenant? When I first came into the UK, I will just gather these letters and put them in a box where I store my junk and other stuff because I did not know what to do with it until I got the right information.

"First of all you have to get the letters and then write on it receiver not known at this address. Then you take it to a post office near you."

"You can also just put "RTS" (Return to Sender) or "not at this address", it works too if you have lots of letters and don't want to write too much!"

"Next time, write RTS on the envelope and circle the return address at the back of the envelope If there is one."
