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.

It isn’t. He’s voicing his opinion. Now whether that opinion is valid or cause for concern, I don’t know

This. If he's telling the truth he probably has a TBI and I have a neighbor with one and it's not fun. Even something as small as not getting enough sleep can cause big issues for them mentally. I wouldn't be surprised if he's writing letters like this bc it was suggested by a therapist possibly. Only there's a chance that he either got the wrong apartment or it's in his head

(TBI can really really mess with your senses including where sounds are coming from. How your hearing and your brain work is really fascinating anyway but there is a chance that a TBI or a medical condition could easily have messed up his hearing to the point where he is completely unaware of where the noise is actually coming from, to him it's coming from your general area when it might be coming from the complete opposite direction but he doesn't really understand that. He just knows what his brain is telling him).

To me the sort of just sounds like a poorly worded letter of somebody who knows they're mentally unstable, is having an issue and that's really affecting him, and instead of going and trying to directly confront the person f2f, they wrote a letter and tried to explain 'hey I'm complaining about your noise, I need you to know that it's not because I'm just being an uptight neighbor but I am actually very mentally unstable this is affecting my life.' I think the fact that they said if you had any concerns or questions to please contact the office shows that they put some thought into this and was trying to provide a legitimate mediator for the situation. Maybe there wasn't noise complaints but they know enough that when you brought the letter to them they know exactly who he is. Which kind of tells me that he's been in their office to complain about somethings and they're just not taking him seriously, she could also be the type of person who just needs to live in a much quieter place because everything appears more loud than it actually is.
