Previously we had a true vacation rental home and there was a general "do not leave mail" and it seemed to work.

Any suggestions or hints would be helpful.
Instead of asking the Post Office to hold your Florida mail, why not just fill out a temporary change of address form and they will forward your mail to your northern address ?
