The state landlord says it's been warned against evicting its worst tenants, with other agencies claiming it will undo their good work.
Kainga Ora appeared before the Social Services and Community Select Committee this morning, defending the agency's track record on dealing with its most disruptive tenants.
Chief executive Andrew McKenzie listed half a dozen state agencies who've told Kainga Ora any hope of helping its worst tenants goes out the window if the state landlord makes them homeless.
Our political reporter Anneke Smith has the story.
