Litigation lawyer Adina Thorn, who has flagged a possible class action on behalf of affected Kāinga Ora neighbours, said the lack of centralised information about compensation payouts was surprising.
The government landlord cannot say how much it has been ordered to pay out in compensation to neighbours terrorised by unruly tenants.
Kāinga Ora, formerly Housing New Zealand, came under the spotlight last year after it was revealed it had not evicted any tenants in the past three years.
This was despite neighbours coming forward with stories of abuse and threats – and Tenancy Tribunal decisions that detailed compensation payouts in the thousands.
