Clearer boundaries around Kāinga Ora tenant behaviour could explain a 600% surge in formal warnings.

In the past 10 months, 63 tenancies were terminated because of abusive, threatening, or persistently disruptive behaviour.

Nearly 1,500 warnings have been issued in the financial year to date.

Chief executive Matt Crockett told Kerre Woodham behaviour isn't worse, rather the previous framework wasn't as sharp.

He says clearer boundaries and more follow through now have more people's behaviour changing for the better.

The fate of multiple vacant Kāinga Ora sections sitting empty will be confirmed in the next month.

Multiple projects are on pause as the state housing agency re-focuses on the Government turnaround plan.

This includes selling 900 older homes a year and a new build programme.

Crockett told Woodham Kāinga Ora's been reviewing which areas are cost effective and serve populations.

He says about 20% of its current land holdings will be sold back to the market.
