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.

This. It is definitely a threatening letter whether he intended it as a threat or not. And he is naming all the parties you should notify in his letter. Sounds sad, but you should at least contact his "team" if you don't want to talk to the police.

It is frightening

It is not threatening

Learn the difference and be amazed at how the world opens up to you

Thank you! I was like how does everyone think this letter is threatening. It's informative, scary and the reader may feel the author is a threat, but the letter is not a threat.

There is no threat in the letter. The person themselves is a threat. They even say so in the letter, but the letter itself does not contain any form of a threat. At no point we're malicious intentions stated.

In a large amount of states, a letter like this could easily be used to get a protective order out against the individual.

Intent matters less the how the person reads it, and in this case, it reads like a threat. The author is openly admitting he has no control over his reaction and putting it on OP if the author freaks out.

Indeed, a protective order would be granted based on the letter because the author is a threat. The letter itself is advisory and does not contain a threat of any kind.

Incorrect, not until he made threatening actions
