36259 (2025). Tamatha Paul to the Associate Minister of Housing: How many, if any, people have gone to the Tenancy Tribunal since the new healthy homes standards came into effect on July 1 2025, and what was the reason for their applications or cases?

Hon Tama Potaka: In the period 1 July to 28 July 2025, the Tenancy Tribunal received a total of 2186 applications. Notes ·These numbers are for applications to the Tenancy Tribunal rather than the number of people involved in making those applications. ·The reason for an application being made is not recorded, so that information can’t be provided. Claims made in an application are recorded, but applications often involve claims relating to more than one subject. ·Some applications to the Tenancy Tribunal are resolved through mediation or resolved between the two parties and withdrawn, so not all will progress to a Tenancy Tribunal hearing.
