The number of Kāinga Ora tenancy terminations is being described as a far cry from what's needed.  

Newstalk ZB can reveal the agency terminated 299 tenancies in the year to March – more than double the 134 in the year before. 

Much of the increase is from Kāinga Ora taking a stronger line on disruptive tenants and rent arrears. 

Litigation lawyer Adina Thorn told Mike Hosking Kāinga Ora needs to evict 1,000 to 1,500 tenants by her own calculations.  

She says nobody wants to live in public housing when they're next people described as the worst of the worst.
