The USPS mail forwarding service lasts one year for First-Class Mail and 60 days for periodicals. I have moved several times and each time I received mail addressed to previous owners. I wrote "Return to Sender / No Longer at this Address" on each first-class mail item and put it in the outgoing mail. Items with first class postage are returned to the sender and they eventually figure it out.
