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
