Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California

receiving my mail from usps
I recently moved into a new home in a small rural area around Kelseyville, CA. There is a post at the edge of driveway of which I attached my mailbox. I was not receiving mail and caught the mailperson one day and was told ''I do not deliver on that side of the street. You must move your mailbox to the other side.'' I do not have the tools or materials to do so and let the postmaster know that. I was told it was up to the carrier where the mailbox is to be located. He told me to put it across the street and the owner of the home across the street told me he does not want my mailbox next to his or on his property-he owns his property and uses the front for parking-I just rent. I am, along with my disabled daughter, on limited income and cannot drive to post office to pick up the mail. In fact, the delivery person has sent some of my mail back. The USPS website says CURBSIDE DELIVERY GOES INTO CUSTOMER BOXES LOCATED AT STREET EDGES.

Is it legal for the USPS to refuse to deliver my mail? Does the carrier have the right to deny my mail delivery?

Talk to the "Postmaster" and see if you can reach an accommodation.
