Question about letting guests give your address

[Luisa169]

Just a quick question-

How do you feel about letting guests use your address to open a post office box? Guest is transitioning to the area and will be a guest foe one month.

Personally, I don't like it. I do allow them to have Amazon parcels delivered (within reason) and also food deliveries, but using my address for any official purposes (bank accounts, credit cards, social security etc. etc.) is an absolute no no for me.

Here you can find a lot of discussion on the topic: https://community.withairbnb.com/t5/Hosting/Do-you-let-guests-receive-mail/m-p/964607#M242042

@Luisa169   They should have their mail delivered to a PO Box at your local post office.  If the Post Office needs to have an address of record, the guest can use the address of their nearest relative or emergency contact person.  NEVER your address.
