2. I make this Witness Statement in support of the Claimant’s application for

an injunction to stop the Defendant from causing intimidation, harassment to
me and other residents.

BACKGROUND

3. The problems that I have encountered with this tenant have been a regular

occurrence since the commencement of my tenancy. The Defendant would
come to my flat three or four times a week, on occasion this would occur more

frequently whereby he would extend this harassment to not only myself but to
my visitors also often following them as they would leave the building. He

would often play loud music after which he would become very argumentative
and bang on my door accusing me and my visitors of maliciously making loud

noises to annoy him.

4. The Defendant would often make threats to me and on one particular

occasion the Defendant said to me, ‘he is on a curfew for 12 days but he
would come ‘after me’ once this is over'.

5. The Defendant had also made accusations claiming that the noises I was
allegedly causing had resulted in the sudden death of his child.

6. On another occasion on the 9^ October 2016f the Defendant came to my flat
banging on the door and when I answered immediately started shouting at

me. He then went downstairs and about ten minutes later he approached my
moped which was parked outside the building and started smashing it with a
wooden stick. The damage that caused was to my vehicle was significant and

prevented me from using it for some time and caused me to lose my job
through lack of transport which was a requirement of my employment. The

damage to the motorcycle was damage to tyres, the side panels, the
headlights both front and rear along
