No. The USPS Domestic Mail Manual states that, except for the occasional newspaper, "no part of a mail receptacle may be used to deliver any matter not bearing postage, including items or matter placed upon, supported by, attached to, hung from, or inserted into a mail receptacle."

No

As a letter carrier, I can tell you that you are absolutely not allowed to place anything in someone else's mailbox unless you are an official letter carrier. Advertisements, etc. that are placed in mailboxes without postage and not by a letter carrier, are removed from the mailboxes by the letter carrier and turned in to postal management. The violator may be billed for postage for the entire route where the advertisements were found.

It is illegal to put anything inside a residential mailbox unless there is postage attached. You can put flyers next to the mailbox or attach them to the outside.

Can our landlord leave flyers in your mailbox?

Technically, no, but good luck finding someone who cares. Placing anything without a stamp in a mailbox (any mailbox) is a violation of federal postal law. The USPS considers your mailbox to be a part of their system, and placing a letter in it without a stamp is considered use of their system without paying for it. Also, some legal scholars think this is a violation of the tenant's privacy, since the mailbox is part of the apartment. If the flyer left is rude or obnoxious, a judge might rule it a breach of quiet enjoyment. Otherwise, you'll be hard pressed to find a postal inspector who cares, or a judge who cares either.

How much space do you need to leave on each side of the mailbox when parking?

If the mailbox is mounted on the house he must have a clear path to the mailbox. If you are mounting your mailbox on a rural road, mount it so the bottom of the mailbox is 47 inches from the surface of the road. Mount the mailbox far enough off the side of the road where it won't get hit. 12" is a good figure to use. Remember that school buses and trucks have mirrors that stick out on the right side that could hit your mailbox. If your mailbox is on a street with a curb, mount the mailbox so the bottom of the mailbox is 47" from the street. Mount the front of the mailbox 9" from the curb.
