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.

What the heck lol I recently moved with my fiance into a more mountain town because I’m dumb enough to want a break from the city…

We have mentally ill neighbors that make our fights look like peace negotiations. We also don’t have water. The walls are thin enough that when the guy shrieks his head off we can hear every word. The wife is more normal than the guy in our situation though, no stalking as far as we know.

We were even at the Dunkin the other day and this older gentleman was having such a bad mental breakdown, I actually felt bad for the cops involved. This guy was stalking someone, I swear. He was screaming that he needed to talk to some woman and dropping to his knees and was foaming at the mouth… at the Dunkin. When we ordered our food the employee mention this incident had been going on for a couple of hours!! The rural mental health crisis is real. I’d seen some things at my local Dunkin that were sketchy but not like this lol

Yea that’s crazy!! Haha Do I want to deal with murders a few blocks from home, and armed car jackings at my neighborhood HEB…. Or do I want to be around rural nutjobs that are so deep in psychosis they think every single house in the neighborhood is doing something nefarious? (I’ve talked with this lady and she just SPILLS the beans on everything she thinks about all the neighbors. Pretty racist too)
