firm but fair approach my arse. they're just evicting more people so they can flip the houses to developers. seen it in my own street.

Aria Wilson2026-07-08T19:11:25.000Z

same honestly it's terrifying

Chloe Martin2026-07-08T19:18:25.000Z

seen it too. They're just gentrifying everything.

Ben Sullivan2026-07-08T19:05:25.000Z

thousands? bloody hell, imagine the backlog at the tribunal. how do they even cope

Sophie Ngata2026-07-08T19:26:25.000Z

Honestly some tenants need a kick up the backside but others are just struggling. There's got to be a middle ground.

Jordan Bell2026-07-08T19:51:25.000Z

get stuffed – some of us can't afford rent anywhere else you muppet

lol 'firm but fair' – code for 'we're gonna make your life hell if you can't pay'. typical.

Chloe Martin2026-07-08T20:08:25.000Z

Firm but fair? More like firm and clueless. I've seen the state some of these houses are in – mould, leaks, broken heaters. And they wanna take tenants to tribunal?

James O’Brien2026-07-08T20:59:25.000Z

exactly! they should be ashamed

Jamie Fox2026-07-08T21:04:25.000Z

preach! the system is so broken

Aria Wilson2026-07-08T20:25:25.000Z

as a student on a benefit this is terrifying. what happens if i lose my tenancy? theres nowhere to go. kāinga ora needs to actually help not punish

Jamie Fox2026-07-08T20:42:25.000Z

My neighbour got taken to tribunal for having too many visitors. She's a solo mum with kids. Give us a break.

Ben Sullivan2026-07-08T20:49:25.000Z

ffs what a shit show. everyone's blaming each other and the vulnerable just get trampled.

Sophie Ngata2026-07-08T20:55:25.000Z

agree, it's a two-way street but the power imbalance is huge

Riley Scott2026-07-08T20:56:25.000Z

yeah nah that's a load of crap – they just don't want to spend money on repairs so they blame tenants

Kai Thompson2026-07-08T20:57:25.000Z

I work in housing maintenance. Half these places are unliveable. They should be taking themselves to tribunal for negligence.
