Ik zou op het terugkeer aan afzender schrijven, onbekende geadresseerde en zou het terug in de dichtste brievenbus dumpen

No it is not their home. The owner still owns it! It is not illegal for an owner to get mail at their house.

There could be some fraud issues if he is claiming to still live there, but that is on him and really has nothing to do with the tenant as far as liability goes.

I like the Idea of getting a PO box just to have a separate mailing address from them.

I’ve lived in situations like that. It wound up being easier just to get a PO BOX. The landlord was always “accidentally” picking up my mail or throwing away “junk mail” aka my magazines or catalogs or whatever. The headache wasn’t worth it. He was old and stubborn, and the rent was too cheap to make a big fuss out of. This way I didn’t have to listen to him complain that I didn’t give him his mail and vice versa.

In my situation, the landlord had not operated his business out of that address for more than five years, but he still directed all of his mail and packages there.

legal maybe, but certainly risky. landlord might not get his business mail reliably. maybe he used to live there himself and has not informed everyone of his new address…
