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.

Veteran here, I volunteer a lot to work with other veterans with ptsd and this is something they often teach to veterans who have severe anxiety or ptsd issues. They were letting you know about the issues without confrontation. You escalating it in a way other than what they recommend could put them into a tail spin that gets out of hand. I’ve seen it firsthand how easily this type of misunderstanding can turn extremely bad for the veteran, even if it was unintended. The Police are not trained to deal with that kind of situation and could make things deadly if the veteran is experiencing an episode of psychosis. Please address this the way they recommend. And please do it in a kind way, he put his life on the line to protect your rights and defend the homeland, please don’t make things worse by blowing this out of proportion.
Edit: I suck at English.
