A: There is no legal requirement that someone live at their mailing address. People can have a P.O. Box, or mail forwarded to another location/address besides their home.

The post doesn't mention the reason for mail forwarding. There may be circumstances where someone improperly uses an address they don't live at (such as to try and establish "residency" in an area they don't really live in) but mail forwarding in and of itself isn't usually problematic.
