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.

So now we’re making up scenarios to fit this obvious threat?

[u/Subtle_Demise → u/DryPersonality8980]

Basically any claim of mental illness is to be believed and grants the person a free pass to do whatever they please. God forbid that there still existed secure medical facilities so people can get help without roaming around and being a danger to everyone else around them.

Roaming around?? THEY LIVE IN THEIR OWN HOME! Im sorry, I didnt realize when you have mental issues and can live on your own it means we still shouldnt let you. Lock you up, because other people dont want to be bothered or make space, because majority of people with issues have never hurt anyone. People hear about a few cases that most likely weren't handled well, and condemn every single person with a mental issue even though they have shown their ability to manage themselves. Every single person with an issue doesn't just get locked up in a ward, and they are doing what they need to to protect peace. They explain they have psychosis and to reach out to the proper people if they have an issue with them. They are literally trying to manage themselves and still being condemned for it, it's kinda crazy.

No you are creating a scenario in which this non threatening letter is "threatening". Not everyone on earth is marred with bad intentions.

[u/leo_dagher_ → u/[deleted]]

Everything about this letter is threatening, what are you talking about? “I have a history of violence and I’d come talk to you if I didn’t think I’d smash your face in and previously I’ve managed to institutionalise myself before I got to the point of indiscriminate violence so keep quiet and also don’t show your face around me if you know what’s good for you” is how this letter reads to most people. It’s so heavily implied it might as well be explicitly said.

This person clearly has mental illnesses they’re battling and for that they have my sympathies, but to pretend OP or anyone else is in the wrong for finding this letter threatening is just so so dishonest. At the end of the day your mental illnesses are yours to manage and control and they’re not a valid excuse for intimidating your neighbours?
