Our neighbours
If there are Kāinga Ora homes in your neighbourhood, there may be times when you will need to talk to us.
We expect Kāinga Ora tenants to be good neighbours and the communities they live in to be enjoyable places to live – and most of them are.

If your property borders our tenant’s home and you have plans for the fence-line, we will consider contributing to the cost of a new fence or an improvement to an existing fence, but you'll need to give us written notice.
