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 9th October 2016 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
122,
with both the breaks and the mirrors. The matter was
reported to the Police who attended and arrested the
Defendant. A crime reference number was obtained
relating to this incident and I will be happy to
provide this at the hearing when I attend. I also have
a recording of conversation between the Defendant
and I, where he admitted to have caused damages to
my moped. The recording will be provided at the
hearing.
7. A further incident occurred with the Defendant
around January 2017 whereby he came to my front
door and started shouting and complaining about
