The Housing Minister claims social housing tenants misbehave because they know there won't be consequences.
The Government's taking a harder line on Kāinga Ora tenants, instructing the provider to axe its Sustaining Tenancies Framework, saying this allows tenants to remain in a state house regardless of bad behaviour or unpaid rent.
Chris Bishop says the cost of living crisis probably has affected tenants' ability to pay rent.
"However, if you know that, basically, it is almost impossible to be booted out of a Kāinga Ora property, then people's behaviour is set based on those expectations."
