10207 (2024). Tamatha Paul to the Associate Minister of Housing: How many evictions, if any, did Kāinga Ora pursue but ultimately not complete in March and April 2024?

Hon Tama Potaka: Kāinga Ora – Homes and Communities advises me that eviction is a specific process involving the Tenancy Tribunal and District Court which only happens if a person refuses to leave the property after a tenancy has ended. Evictions can also take place where required to remove individuals who are occupying a property unlawfully. Two evictions were carried out at Kāinga Ora properties, one each in March and April 2024. No other evictions were sought during this time. This is also my response to WPQ 10204(2024)
