A necessary eviction

Radio NZ reports:

Jasmine Hanham filmed herself harassing her neighbours and then posted it to social media platform TikTok.

Now her landlord Kāinga Ora has taken her to the Tenancy Tribunal to get her evicted for her antisocial behaviour.

That behaviour included covering her neighbour’s work car with stickers accusing him of “s*** parking” and filming herself verbally harassing her neighbours and posting the videos to TikTok.

The Christchurch woman told the tribunal she was struggling with parenting her high-needs children, which led to the outbursts, and that her tenancy shouldn’t be terminated.

But tribunal adjudicator Rebecca Morgan said in a recently released decision that while parenting can be overwhelming, the three antisocial incidents cannot be justified by stressful parenting.

Morgan ultimately terminated Hanham’s tenancy giving her two weeks to find new accommodation.

This would never have happened under the last Government. Their policy was to basically protect the abusers.
