NZ’s worst landlord stoops even lower

NewstalkZB reports:

A Kāinga Ora tenant is accused of confronting her neighbours with a shovel and large knife then threatening to kill them and “bathe in your blood” while her dog feasted on their remains.

The alleged incident, which neighbours claimed was witnessed by at least one child, occurred last month at a South Island social housing complex and followed what neighbours claim has been a terrifying 18-month campaign of harassment and racial abuse.

18 months of this! 18 days would be too long.

Neighbours say she has been moved to temporary accommodation following multiple police call-outs and complaints about her behaviour from fellow tenants who claim that they have feared for their families’ lives.

Don’t move her. Evict her. Make her realise you don’t get a massively cheap taxpayer subsidised state house if you terrorise your neighbours. Build a concrete barracks in an isolated area for people like her.

She said another neighbour suffered fractured ribs after allegedly being assaulted with a piece of wood by the woman and her then-partner last year.

And this wasn’t enough to evict here?

The Herald understands the man had complained repeatedly about the woman to Kāinga Ora tenancy managers before eventually being transferred out of the complex to escape the situation.

They moved the victim, not the assailant!

Pam said police had responded to numerous 111 calls about the woman’s behaviour and firefighters had been called when she lit large fires in her yard fuelled by rubbish.

How about three 111 callouts and you get evicted?

In an October 3 email, Pam claimed the woman “has used weapons [shovel, long bladed knife and aggressive dog] to threaten the lives of myself, my partner and my children”.

“My 11 year old daughter is extremely traumatised and, like other tenants in this complex, we are living in fear.

“None of us should have to live this way.”

But this is Government policy. Labour has instructed them to not evict tenants.
