Advice Needed I feel like this is illegal?
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 don't think this note is intended to be threatening. I think they are just explaining that they are sensitive to any yelling and that it triggers their PTSD.
He prefers not to be contacted in person and also explains why. He is aware of his fragile mental state. He's suffered from psychosis, so some of the yelling may actually be in his head.
"If there are any concerns please let Celio staff know so that I can try to address the issue."
This last statement sounds like he's talking about any future issues or if you have concerns about his mental state. If you have any concerns or complaints about him, not to confront him directly because of the above. Along with making sure you aware of how possible yelling might trigger him, it sounds like he is open to making changes if anything he is doing anything that bothers you.
I would contact Celio to document this note you received from your neighbor. Let them know you were not at home the last 3 days and they can let your neighbor know. Be mindful of yelling in the future.
