Summary
Associate Housing Minister Tama Potaka announced the success of a Government directive aimed at addressing abusive Kāinga Ora tenants, resulting in improved tenant behaviour. He noted that the previous Sustaining Tenancies Framework, which ended in March last year, allowed some tenants to remain in their homes despite engaging in disruptive activities. Potaka emphasized that while most social housing tenants are respectful, a small minority have negatively impacted their neighbours and properties, highlighting the privilege of living in taxpayer-funded housing.
