Since the 1990s has there been a policy that state rental housing is available for life?

A O'Sullivan made this Official Information request to Minister for Social Housing

The request was successful.

From: A O'Sullivan

Dear Minister for Social Housing,

As you are aware, I am sure, there have been recent media reports that tenants in state rental properties expected a state tenancy for life.

Are you able to advise whether this has ever been policy (explicit or implied) since 1990 or thereabouts? Specifically have new or existing tenants been told they would never have to move from state housing?

Yours faithfully,

A O'Sullivan

Thank you for your email addressed to the Hon Paula Bennett. She
appreciates you taking the time to contact her.

All correspondence, including email, is entered into our mail tracking
process. Although e-mail delivery is instant, the time required to respond
to the high number received makes it impossible to provide an equally
instant response from the Minister.

Minister Bennett will read your views but a response beyond this
acknowledgement may not be sent.

I thought the principle question has been ignored, and it should be re-asked for those tenants who arent in the groups mentioned.
