Am I being paranoid about my old landlady?

[LidiaM]

Very weird but I wonder what are your opinions on this.

Our old landlady has contacted me and is asking for our address
We have rented her property for a 1 and a half back in 2017.
We have moved out last year in Spring, we have always been on good terms with her while renting from her.
When we moved out she came and we boths signed papers to confirm that everything was perfect and that the hpuse was in a great condition (we left in spotless)
we have received our deposit 2 weeks later and paids all the bills.
I did messaged her back in August for her to contact her new tenants so that we could go to our old flat and get all the letters , she replied and said that she jas them (weird) and that we can collect from her.
I dont understand why she would take my post after we moved out? why cant we just visit the old place and resolve this between us and the new tenants ?
anyways. I mesaged her again in September last year to ask how she was and if she could post it of when we could collect the letters and I never had reply.
I found this very rude of her for not messaging us back but I just left if there and moved on.
Today she messahed me out of the blue to ask how we are and if we are still in the city . I replied that yes we are, the old landlady then said that its exciting and asked me if its a flat or house and if I have the address to hand ????
I am confused as why she asks for my adress after not talking for the past 6 months.
She didnt even reply back in September !
let me add that when we were renting from her she would invite me for her kids birthday and when visiting the place she would stay for 2 hours to just chat.
we have kids the same age sonwe had stuff to talk about.

I dont trust her in a way... I dont know why, not sure why she asked for the address out of blue ?
I am paranoid thinking that maybe she needa our address to make a problem ?

Give up on the letters and ignore her. Easy.

@rightearlopbreath I dont care about the letters but dont want to be rude for nor replying

You should have sorted out mail redirection before you moved. It’s kind of her to collect the letters for you. She is probably busy and didn’t get round to sorting out forwarding them and is trying to do it now.

No idea why you are so paranoid!

@workingitputasigo yes but she lived in diffrent city so it was so muh easier if she could just left it there at our place so that we could collect without travelling 50 miles.
And if she DECIDED on her own to take it she should then make sure to send them over.
I did the mail redirection so I believe the letters arent important thats why I never bothered again,

Why, she didn't reply before? I'd go with your gut and not tell her.

But your post is not the new tenants responsibility. Why should they be bothered?
She's clearly been given it by them and is trying to be nice passing it on.

Why did you not redirect?

The new tenants could have just thrown it out as could the landlady.

@cupoftea84 I did redirect them so Iam guessing that the letters werent important.
I dont think she messaged me today regards to the letters, she would have said straight and then asked for my new address

Redirection expires. Letters also fall in the gaps.

She probably just wants to forward you the post that has arrived since.

Neither she nor you have the right to disturb the incumbent tenants.

If you moved months ago and got your deposit back she’s not going to raise an issue now - she can’t.

Why the paranoia?

Wow.

So your LL bothered to try to get your mail to you, and you think she is the rude one?

As @humsnet says, she doesn't have the right to disturb the current tenants and is probably wary of encouraging you to think that's ok either.

I would see this as the LL going above and beyond to try to help you. If you don't want her to have your address for some reason (though it sounds entirely innocent to me), then don't give it her. But it's very weird to be like this with someone who's obviously just trying to help you.

@sarahandqack no. I am saying it was rude of her for taking my post and then ignoring me for over half a year .I obviously dont need it now, do I ? why would I need such old post ? she had 7 months and he didnt even bothered to reply to my messages and now she woke up and is asking for my personal information . I dont buy it

Ring her up and have a conversation... clear communication rather than guessing her motives

You are over thinking it.

But how is that rude?

She said you could collect the post. You dragged your heels about it, and so she presumably thought you couldn't be bothered? I wouldn't feel terribly inclined to message someone back if they wasted my time either. Especially if you expected me to go to the post with it instead of you coming to me.

You have likely had post that is continued to arrive. We used to get bank statements for tenants who were like the tenants before the tenants before us. It’s not the new tenants job to sort it out. It’s yours and hers. She can’t really share their details with you for data protection reasons. She’s probably busy and has better things to do, so she’s only just getting around to it. You can either be gracious about it and follow up or drop it if you don’t think the post is important.

It’s likely the mail redirection missed some things, or has expired.

The new tenants don’t have your contact details, and passed the post on to her.

She is trying to forward something to you so needs your address.

Alternatively she liked you and wants to put you on her Christmas card list.

It’s really not a big deal.

You’ve had your deposit back, there is no way she could make trouble for you/seek damages etc now.

I’m sorry, but your reaction here is a bit odd.
