7263 (2024). Tamatha Paul to the Minister of Housing: What advice, if any, has the Minister received regarding the impact of introducing no-cause evictions on rent prices?

Hon Chris Bishop: Officials from the Ministry of Housing and Urban Development have advised that reintroducing ‘no cause’ terminations could support rental supply at the margins and apply downward pressure on rents, noting that their evidence regarding this is uncertain.
