The National Party-led coalition government has restored New Zealand landlords’ power to evict tenants without cause, with as little as 42 days notice required.

The coalition government is to use its controversial ‘fast track’ legislation to bypass drawn-out environmental approvals and speed the development of coal.

The coalition government will replace one law with two, which it says will make it easier to build everything from a house major infrastruture.

Kāinga Ora manages the government’s rental stock and builds more houses, with an annual expenditure of $2.5 billion and total assets of $45 billion.

The coalition government says the moves will ‘encourage landlords back to the rental property market’ and reduce the housing shortage.
