The Government's crackdown on antisocial Kainga Ora tenant behaviour is being labelled a "move back to the real world".
It's instructed Kainga Ora to end the Sustaining Tenancies Framework and strengthen its management of disruptive tenants.
Former Monte Cecelia Housing Trust chief executive Bernie Smith says the issues it's having are generations in the making.
He told Mike Hosking that the previous government's soft approach created a lot of mayhem for tenants and homeowners trying to live in peace.
Smith says they allowed tenants to remain in homes no matter the illegal activity or issues they were creating for their neighbours.
