Adina Thorn: Lawyer responds to Kāinga Ora's failure to evict antisocial tenants promptly - Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

Kāinga Ora has been fined $6,000 for being too slow to evict unruly tenants.

Stuff reports Kāinga Ora was forced to pay a woman terrorised by neighbours and fellow social housing tenants.

The antisocial tenants defecated outside her door, and it's alleged they threw a woman off a balcony.

Lawyer Adina Thorn says any other landlord would've kicked them out much sooner.

"It takes people a lot of time hassling Kāinga Ora - and they've got to basically be at a wits end before Kāinga Ora will step up."
