The Housing Minister is confident the harsher consequences for unruly Kāinga Ora tenants are working.

Chris Bishop ordered the public housing agency to end the Sustaining Tenancies Framework in March this year, and strengthen management of disruptive tenants.

Since then, 14 tenancies have been terminated - with another 25 applications awaiting decisions.

Chris Bishop says putting up with disruptive behaviour is cruel for the 23,000 people on the waitlist for social housing.

"Well you just go - at some level, there has to be consequences. And of course, once there are consequences, people start to change their behaviour. We're starting to see that, which is a good thing."
