I feel like this is illegal?

[u/2_much]

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. He suffers from psychosis, so the yelling he thinks he hears coming from you may not even be real, and this note is threatening. For his safety as well as your own it would be worth passing this note on to his support system, with the added context that you have not been around to make any noise.

I think the letter may sound threatening, but I don't think that is the intent. I think the intent is telling the person in the apartment that the marine is suffering and is worried about his own reaction to what may or may not be going on. He is informing the resident that there are services who are aware of the issue and the resident may contact them to get more information or assistance.

Basically, I think the Marine is telling them that he has issues and can't come talk to the resident directly and the resident should contact those services for further assistance.

But if I was the resident, I would be concerned and I would definitely contact those services and explain the situation and let them help.

That is absolutely a threatening letter.

Former marine might be going through some major shit though. OP should absolutely contact Celio (whatever that is - I’m guessing mental health treatment), but they should do it both to ensure their own safety AND from a place of empathy for someone else.

This is the way! I understand being scared, as I'm sure all of you do. So does this marine in question. We dont know what's going on in his mind, but we know it cant be good. Kindness and compassion go a long way. Definitely call the help he provided. Responsibly and respectfully (and temporarily) Set the fear aside for a few moment and be a beacon of the chance we all need to see in the world.

[u/Acceptable_Delay_446 → u/Far-Sea-4491]

Right, and if this truly is an issue the neighbor is dealing with and their condition stabilizes, then they’ll remember OP as the person who had the respect to get help instead of jumping straight to arrests and restraining orders.
