Sometimes your home will need repairs. See what we can do for you and what you might be able to do yourself.

Being a good neighbour is an important part of living in your community. We encourage all our customers to act as good neighbours.

Kāinga Ora is a pet friendly landlord. Pets can be great companions and getting a pet (or keeping the one you may already have) is important to you.

There are many reasons you may want to move to another home. If you want to move, call us to talk about your situation, your housing needs and what housing options you may have.

A change in your living arrangements or income could affect your place on the social housing register and your eligibility for income-related rent.

MyKāingaOra is an online way for our customers to check their accounts, rent balances, maintenance requests and so much more - very much like MyMSD and MyIR.

Close to Home is a tenant newsletter supported by Kāinga Ora. Read about local communities, recipes, tips, advice and staying safe around the home.

To meet growing demand for warm, dry state houses, Kāinga Ora is building thousands of new homes on land we own. Before we can start though, we often have to rehouse tenants into another home to make way for redevelopment.
