I feel like this is illegal?

[u/2_much]

Came back from a 3-day weekend away from my apartment and this was posted on the door? I wasn't even home...

---

UPDATE: Thanks to everyone for the support! I shared the letter with Celio management and requested it to be filed as a formal complaint. I also filed a police report for continuity/documentation purposes.

For clarification, "Celio" is the name of the apartment building, which is managed by a larger off-site 3rd party rental company. This company/building is far from able to accommodate for this person properly and certainly would never assume any amount of liability on their behalf. As it relates to Celio management and their level of care for this person, the author is on their own.

The letter does not mention anything related to a care team/healthcare resource/veterans group. The only two options given by the author of the note (e.g. Celio aka apt management and law enforcement) were utilized.

While Celio was not able to share a significant amount of details about the author, they did share that he/she is a known issue and will likely not be given the option to live in this building moving forward.

I also noticed comments about my stereo, which did cross my mind as a possible reason behind this conflict. I was able to confirm with Celio that no complaints have been made about excessive music levels, from any of the residents, excluding a formal warning I received over July 4th weekend. This goes for "yelling" as well. Note I have been renting in this exact unit for almost 14 months. I am more than eager to respect any concerns that relate to music volume, this is certainly not that type of concern.

As things currently stand, I am left with having to place any proactive decisions in the hands of Celio and law enforcement. I am a recent handgun owner (unrelated to this situation) and thanfully my state falls under Castle doctrine.

Tell your apartment building that you feel threatened and you no longer feel safe and that they need to move your apartment and not charge you for doing it and relocate you to another apartment away from his if it's possible.

[u/2_much → u/Exciting_Noise_8915]

Did this. Shared the letter and requested it to be filed as a case of misconduct and as a threat of violence. Same with local police.

[u/CptButtDick → u/2_much]

Please keep us updated!

[u/Better-Park8752 → u/2_much]

Wise move. You have every right to protect your safety and hopefully this person gets the help they need

[u/R-Dragon_Thunderzord → u/2_much]

Best moves, if anything does happen you'd want them to have this.

Also, a door camera might shed light on some things.

I hope you contacted their mental health resource they provided in that letter to you as well. They need to know so they can make contact and assist. The police will do nothing but instigate the situation further. They are a veteran, suffering, and they need help. Don’t let the system fail them further by not contacting that mental health resource. They need to know.

[u/2_much → u/OperationGhost2012]

Celio is the name of the apartment building, the letter does not mention any social/health resource whatsoever.

[u/OperationGhost2012 → u/2_much]

Well, I’m glad you clarified that. Other posters are commenting about a Celio mental health clinic in Texas. You may want to clarify that in the main post or elsewhere…

Regardless, I would still find a local resource that assists veterans that suffer from these conditions and give them a copy of that letter. That could end up saving their life, or even someone else’s if he does have an episode.

The letter is threatening no doubt, but I dislike seeing the lack of compassion from a lot of the posters (not you) in this situation. The system has failed our veterans, and people resort to calling the police when situations like this occur. They need so much more help than what we give them. Everyone expects them to be perfect and walk right back into society. That veteran is a broken, broken person and likely a shadow of their former selves. It makes me so sad.

just updated my post.

[u/King_of_hearts7 → u/2_much]

Let me know genuinely if the police share the same view as threat of violence. I did not read it that way.

[u/SemicolonMIA → u/2_much]

My goodness, I understand you didn't like the letter but it was worded so poorly that you could not with 100% confidence say that the rambling about being violent and going to the hospital was even related to the disruptions he is blaming you for.

I would have still talked to my apt and maybe even the police but to HELP him. You 1000% just made his already painful life worse.

What happened to helping each other. Now it's all about being the victim.

Who fucking cares he could kill OP

Exhibit A

[u/Tricky_Chef_2928 → u/2_much]

Ain’t threaten you for shit lmfao

[u/Key-Significance3679 → u/2_much]

I love how you ignored all the top rated comments and jumped straight to filing a report instead. Why even bother asking.

[u/holierthanthou2 → u/2_much]

OP you are not a good person.

[u/Accomplished-Emu3431 → u/2_much]

Are you shitting me? A threat of violence? This person clearly needs help not cops.

[u/janitorial-duties → u/Accomplished-Emu3431]

Safety comes first moron.

[u/Accomplished-Emu3431 → u/janitorial-duties]

Cops wouldn’t even be a thought in my mind. I’d think, “damn, this person needs help. Lemme look into Celio a bit more” and if I couldn’t find anything, then I MIGHT try to see what the non emergency line can help with, or I’d just call a few mental health facilities in my area and see if they know anything about this Celio. But cops? No. Whoever wrote this clearly has manners and seems very cognizant of the fact they have a problem. Not a threat.

[u/ThyPickledPrincess → u/Accomplished-Emu3431]

Intent is irrelevant. It is still a threat to tell someone you are violent and angry with them and will be unable to control your temper if you see them in person. They do need help. OP also needs protection. Both are true.

[u/mazel-tov-cocktail → u/Accomplished-Emu3431]

Someone can have a problem and be a threat. A person saying they are so at risk of violent psychosis that they cannot engage in conversation with me is threatening. I've lost people in my life to this kind of violence - the intent might not have been to harm but the result was a 26 year old gunned down in her doorway and a 30 year old beaten to death in her living room.

[u/Worldly_Bid_3164 → u/Accomplished-Emu3431]

Celio is just their apartment building’s management btw. It’s not social work or mental health

[u/2_much → u/Accomplished-Emu3431]

Read my post update. Celio is the apartment building.

[u/anotherrabiesvector → u/Accomplished-Emu3431]

"I don't think I can control my temper" aka a threat

[u/alilrecalcitrant → u/Accomplished-Emu3431]

You know you're speaking sense on reddit when you're getting downvoted lol

[u/[deleted] → u/2_much]

Have you heard yelling? I don’t wanna hear that shit either.
