What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California
Hi everyone, new to these forums and was wondering if anyone could chime in on a problem I'm having.
I share an apartment with my girlfriend, we moved in this past July. Since October, we've received 3 printed notes taped outside my apartment. These notes, for lack of a better term, are negative holiday cards (I know it sounds silly). The first, on Halloween, was a sign that said "Witch Landing", which I played off as a joke and thought nothing more of it. My balcony is on the first floor that shares a common courtyard so I thought maybe someone was just decorating the courtyard.
The second note showed up a little after Xmas, and said "Bah Humbug". So I'm thinking ok...this is a little strange. At this point I should mention that I haven't had much contact with my neighbors and I am at a loss as to who is doing this. Still, pretty much forgot about it although I did mention it to the building manager.
Anyway, on Monday (VDay) a third note showed up that was a black upside down heart taped to the wall in front of my girlfriend's parking space. So now it seems there is someone (like I said, no idea who) fixating on us. I find this to be really creepy and kind of threatening. My girlfriend was mugged a few years back so she is especially sensitive to this kind of thing. While yes, this is most likely someone's passive-aggressive idea of a joke, since I don't know who it is I can't say for sure that this person isn't planning on escalating. Do we get a dead rabbit on Easter? A picture of George Washington flipping us off for President's Day?
In any case, if this was just me (33 year old reasonably fit male), I wouldn't be so alarmed. But since someone I care for very much is being involved I want to just err on the side of safety and get us out of here. We are bound by lease here until June 1, but I really don't feel like finding out what comes next with this creep.
So my question to anyone who cares to weigh in is: Do you think this situation constitutes an uninhabitable situation? The management seems pretty unwilling to deal with us on this so I'm thinking if we leave we might end up in court.
Any advice on this would be a big help, thanks very much for reading.

Beat them to the punch - put a picture of a wilted shamrock on your door/garage.
