Dear Ms Taingahue
Thank you for your email dated 19 March 2021 to Kāinga Ora – Homes and Communities,
requesting the following information under the Official Information Act 1982:
‘How many vacant 4 bedroom homes are ready now in Mangere, Manurewa, Papatoetoe
and Papakura areas’
I can advise that at 31 March 2021 there were nine four-bedroom houses in the Māngere-
Ōtāhuhu, Manurewa, Ōtara-Papatoetoe and Papakura local board areas that were vacant and
available to let. Eight of these properties were located in Māngere-Ōtara and the other one in
Papakura.
At any point in time Kāinga Ora has some empty houses between tenancies. During this short
time the property is inspected to make sure there is no tenant damage, and any maintenance
work is carried out before a new tenant moves in.
You can find regularly updated information on the number of vacant properties Kāinga Ora has
available by area, on our website at https://kaingaora.govt.nz/publications/housing-statistics/
Yours sincerely
Rachel Kelly
Manager Government Relations
