Housing Minister Chris Bishop anticipates increased evictions due to Kāinga Ora's stricter management of unruly tenants.

Housing Minister Chris Bishop expects evictions to rise as Kāinga Ora cracks down on unruly tenants. The government ordered Kāinga Ora to end the Sustaining Tenancies Framework in March and strengthen its management of disruptive tenants. Since then, 14 tenancies have been terminated due to behaviour or persistent rent arrears, compared to 8 in all of 2023. A new disruptive behaviour policy allows faster tenancy termination.
