Answer

Under the no surprises convention, Kāinga Ora – Homes and Communities may inform my office of matters it considers this appropriate. I do not hold records of such notifications in a form that would identify individual instances or enable them to be counted or categorised. Accordingly, I am unable to provide the information requested.
