since this is hacker news... i once had some trouble changing mail address from one supplier (they would send the materials to the new address, but insisted on sending billing/tax info to the old one) so i did the mail forward process some three times + their extensions (i recall it was 6 + 3mo or so)... it got me close to 3 yrs of reliable mail forward from the great folks at usps until i could get thru the supplier personnel thick skull.

the only issue "redoing" the request is that people at the old address can block it, so be sure to talk to them first.

That's so strange, especially when you consider that for legal purposes, if you receive mail at someone's home, you are now a "resident" and it is harder for police to kick you out. Why would anyone willingly want your mail to come to your address.

Simply receiving mail does not make you a resident. You must establish residency and that is being allowed access to the home, the understanding that you are leaving belongings behind with the ability to access them later, how long you have stayed, and maintaining things like utility bills. A lease is a contract that clearly establishes the guidelines between two willing parties. Absent that, the definition of residency is typically delineated in your state landlord-tenant laws.
