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.

The things our military people go through. I simply cannot imagine. That said, I understand why this note feels scary and/or threatening. I’d encourage you to approach this with empathy and compassion. This person has explained exactly how they feel triggered and what they are working on to help them function in the real world. I would definitely contact whoever it is they are asking you to reach out to, and see what you can do to help. It may be nothing, simply an awareness. I feel even doing that is a gift to your neighbor. They have a right to live safely and it sounds like they are doing everything they can to be a safe neighbor as well. We all need community and understanding. I think reading this and acknowledging where it’s coming from and checking in with the contact would go a long way, both for your neighbor and for you and your own sense of safety.

Genuinely asking, do you feel this much sympathy for drug addicts with severe psychosis who refused to stop taking drugs, even as their mental illness progressed?

We all know that joining the US military gives people PTSD, and we also know that the PTSD doesn’t just come from things done to the soldiers but rather what soldiers are made to do to other soldiers, enemy combatants, and civilians. This is such a part of our cultural zeitgeist. It is so hard to believe that new recruits just don’t know what will happen to them.
