New Zealand's Housing Minister instructs Kāinga Ora to end its Sustaining Tenancies Framework and adopt stricter measures for tenant behavior due to escalating rental arrears.
New Zealand's Housing Minister, Chris Bishop, has instructed Kāinga Ora, the state housing provider, to end its Sustaining Tenancies Framework and adopt stricter measures to address antisocial behaviour by tenants. This follows concerns about escalating rental arrears, with total debt owed by tenants increasing from $1 million to $21 million between 2017 and 2023. The government also expects Kāinga Ora to focus on genuinely engaging with local communities about their development plans and activities.
