Any tenants needing assistance, including repairs to their home, following the cluster earthquakes in Canterbury on Friday 23 December should call our Contact Centre on 0800 801 601.
From 2 January Housing New Zealand will be inspecting its houses in the suburbs most affected by the 23 December earthquakes (South Shore, South New Brighton, New Brighton, North New Brighton and Parklands) to check whether any repairs are needed. Tenants will be contacted directly to arrange a time to inspectors to visit.
Housing New Zealand staff in Christchurch are also making contact with known vulnerable tenants, but if you have not been contacted or live in one of the suburbs where state houses are not being inspected, and do need support or repairs then we encourage you to phone us on the number above.
Anyone who is not currently a Housing New Zealand tenant but would like to enquire about applying for a state house should also contact us via the freephone number.
