Niki Rauti's struggle to stay put may come to an end on Wednesday.

A letter from the bailiff has Auckland beneficiary Niki Rauti fearing her year-long battle to remain in social housing has come to an end.

The 62-year-old has lived in a weatherboard house in Glen Innes for 32 years.

Last month the High Court ruled in favour of the house's owner, the Tamaki Regeneration Company (TRC), to evict Rauti in order to redevelop the land it sits on.

TORIKA TOKALAU/STUFF Several demonstrations have been staged at the Taniwha St house, in a bid to keep from it from being redeveloped.

Rauti said she received a letter from the bailiff on Friday, telling her to "have everything cleared out" by Wednesday.

"I'd be lying if I said I wasn't scared," she said.

Chris Skelton/Fairfax NZ These are the new, space-saving state houses being built by the Tamaki Regeneration Company in the place of older homes like Niki Rauti's.

The Taniwha St house was one of 2800 state homes TRC planned to demolish and replace with 7500 new ones – retaining the same amount of social housing – over the next 15 years.

TRC is jointly owned by the government and Auckland Council.

The company issued Rauti a 90-day eviction notice in October 2016, which she appealed through the Tenancy Tribunal.

The Tribunal ruled that TRC did have the legal right to evict Rauti, a judgement later backed up by rulings in Auckland District Court and the High Court.

Rauti had rejected several offers of alternative housing, opting to make a stand for older state homes, which are relatively spacious, and what she saw as tenants' life-long right to live in them.

Her supporters organised numerous demonstrations and marched with her down Symonds St on September 21, the date of her High Court hearing.

The group would be meeting on Tuesday to discuss a sit-in for that night, Rauti said.

"We haven't given up."

She said she was "so focused" on staying put that she hadn't considered what her second-best option might be, and would have to consult with her lawyer.

Rauti said the redevelopment was destroying the tight-knit Glen Innes community and creating "monstrosity housing built so close together there's nowhere for children to play".

Earlier this year, TRC chief executive John Holyoak said not only were the old homes "past their use-by-date", they were barriers to fixing Auckland's housing deficit.

"There's no way we can provide more homes if we don't make room for them."

Their removal and the reshuffle of sections would allow the gamut of real estate to be built: from high-end residences on prime slabs of land, to terraced two-storey social housing, without the big gardens of before.

TRC housing general manager Neil Porteous said the company was "working with the relevant authorities" to gain legal possession of the property in Taniwha St.

"The timelines for this are not within TRC's control."

The company had a house available for Rauti about 500 metres away from her Taniwha St home, Porteous said.

"We recognise this is a challenging time for Ms Rauti but TRC has been transparent with her about the redevelopment plans and tried to communicate with her at every opportunity."
