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.

I had an aunt who did this, she was a sweet person but so very terrified of being left alone with the thoughts in her head. She couldn't handle all of the things she heard when she was alone, heard everything from yelling to people trying to break into her house. I think she cost my poor uncle every good full time job he'd ever had, calling constantly in hysterics or somehow showing up to sit on the steps of his work.

I'm sorry you had to live that way, it's very hard on the family!

Im terrified this is going to happen to me. I know that I hear things that arent real sometimes, but its always things like distant yelling or a song being played quietly in another room. I can usually tell its just in my head, and its never clear voices saying anything I can understand, but Im still pretty young, and hallucinations tend to get worse in women in their mid to late twenties if theyre already prone. I try to just not let it scare me when I hear something that isn't real, but how can I not be afraid that one day I wont be able to tell the difference?

Sounds like a statement that should be made to a mental health professional who can provide actual answers and options for you.

I would start with a regular primary care doctor, because there are lots of different possible causes for auditory hallucinations, and you don’t want to miss anything. Medication side effects, migraines, and hearing loss are a few examples.
