From: Alicia Long
Dear Ms Cole
I am writing to clarify the information you are requesting.
Housing New Zealand ends tenancies by issuing a 90-day notice, which asks
tenants to vacate the property within that time period. An eviction is a
different process, which takes place when a court bailiff is authorised to
obtain possession of a property after the tenancy has been ended by the
Tenancy Tribunal, and the tenant has not vacated it.
Could you please clarify if you were looking for data related to 90-day
notices specifically?
Also could you please confirm that you would like this information for the
financial years 2013/14, 2014/15, and 2015/16?
You can contact me directly on [1][email address] or on 04 439
3743.
Kind regards
Alicia

Dear Ms Cole
On 10 April 2017, Housing New Zealand Corporation transferred to the
Ministry, your request under the Official Information Act 1982, for the

o The number of Social Housing tenancies ended because of reviewable
tenancies each year from 2013, and of these, how many people moved
into the private rental market or are now living in emergency
accommodation and the number of people that were moved because the
house was the wrong size, location or the tenant was over the income
threshold.
The Ministry has decided to grant your request in part, some information
will be refused under section 18(f) of the Official Information Act, as
