I shouldn't have to bear cost and inconvenience because of the drunk's actions. Unless I can deduct the costs from the rent I pay him. If I had the money, I'd move. He knows d**n well I have no money to move after he gets my rent money.

Life isn't fair.

Put on your grown-up underwear and take some productive action, instead of demanding that an unchangeable situation should change.

Get a PO box. Whenever I am renting anywhere, I do this. It costs a whole dollar per week.

Exactly. I've changed physical addresses many times over the past 30 years where I live and have kept the same USPS mailbox all those years. I currently pay around $80/year. You can even set it up online:

He doesnt want you to solve his very easy problem. He wants to be able to declare how life is so unfair.

Money is a very scarce resource for me. I shouldn't have to spend money to deal with a problem caused by an active drunk, especially when I am paying him up the wazoo for normal living services including mail. Plus there is a time issue, since I don't have a car, each round trip will take at least a half hour and probably an hour, and cannot be done (PO is locked) at more convenient times of day. If I move, that trip could get considerably more time consuming.

Well there you go then. Another set of suggestions hits the dust and another excuse is added to the list. Homing pigeons? Oh, wait, you have to feed and house them.

Have you noticed that ALL of my options suck?

Yes, and through nobody's fault but your own.
