Kāinga Ora (HNZ) Lease End Service

If you have a property that is leased to the Kāinga Ora (previously Housing New Zealand) rental pool and you want to bring it back to the private residential tenancy market, we can help.

In our experience most Kāinga Ora properties have required at least some refurbishment or repair. While they do have the option of using their own contractors, historically Kāinga Ora has offered a settlement amount to cover these costs.

Through our knowledge of the process and strong negotiation skills our team can help you negotiate a fair outcome. Every single Kāinga Ora lease-end negotiation we have been involved in has resulted in our clients receiving a higher settlement offer. Here are some examples of settlements we have assisted with.
