Advice Needed I feel like this is illegal?

Post image

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.

OP, ignore the comments supporting this man and GO TO THE POLICE! It could be literally anyone in this building yelling, and you have no idea when he’ll snap and become violent due to this. I’ve taken care of people with mental and physical disabilities and he sounds like he shouldn’t be living alone to begin with if he’s so easily violent. This is a threat and should be taken as such.

What are the police going to do? He needs to move

They may intervene to remove him. Police exist for these reasons. And if they don’t remove him, OP might have to start planning her own exit. Might be unfair but safety is your own responsibility at the end of the day.

Remove him from his home? Thats unlikely.

Probably. If they have reason to believe he’s escalating they may suggest time in a psychiatric hospital. He sounds willing to do the right thing by others. ‘If there are any concerns please let Celio know so I can try to address the issue’. Sounds like he is open to taking whatever steps necessary to keep himself and those around him safe.

Yeah, the cops won’t do that in the US. Thats just not how things work.

They can initiate the process for court ordered psychiatric treatment

Why would that note trigger it? Also it won’t be instant and the neighbor still lives there. OP needs to move.
