ffs Kainga Ora, 'firm but fair' my arse. Just build more houses instead of dragging tenants to tribunal.

Mason Young2026-07-08T20:23:39.000Z

exactly, they're just trying to make themselves look tough on rorters while ignoring the real issues

Drew Parker2026-07-08T19:43:39.000Z

is it just me or does 6000 cases sound insane for one year?

Blake Turner2026-07-08T20:34:39.000Z

yeah nah it's out of control. my mate had a notice for not mowing the lawn...

Mason Young2026-07-08T19:56:39.000Z

probably trying to cover their own mismanagement tbh

Sophie Ngata2026-07-08T20:52:39.000Z

I know a guy who's been waiting for repairs for months. Tribunal is a joke when basic maintenance is ignored.

my cousin's ceiling collapsed and they said it was 'wear and tear'

Ella Thompson2026-07-08T20:17:39.000Z

what did they expect when they put people in mouldy shitholes then charge market rent

Sophie Ngata2026-07-08T20:23:39.000Z

they've got a cheek calling it 'firm but fair' when most of those cases are probably about damp and broken windows

Mason Young2026-07-08T20:46:39.000Z

firm but fair = we'll drag you to court if you complain too loud
