Ioela Ana Rauti can legally be evicted from her Glen Innes home, a court has ruled.

An Auckland beneficiary must leave her home of more than 30 years, a court has ruled.

Glen Innes resident Ioela Ana Rauti has been fighting to stay in her state home since being issued a 90-day eviction notice in October.

Her home is one of 2800 state homes that housing development Tamaki Regeneration Company (TRC) plans to demolish and replace with 7500 new homes over the next 15 years.

TRC is jointly owned by the Government and Auckland Council.

Rauti and her supporters disputed the eviction notice and took their fight to the Auckland District Court in May in an attempt to appeal a possession order of her home, granted by the Tenancy Tribunal in February.

TORIKA TOKALAU/STUFF Supporters of Ioela Ana Rauti set up a campsite with placards outside her home.

But on Tuesday the Auckland District Court upheld the Tenancy Tribunal's judgement that TRC had the legal right to evict Rauti.

Rauti is supported by a government benefit and has lived at her Taniwha St home since 1985.

As Rauti awaits her eviction, more than 20 supporters from the Tamaki Housing Group have gathered outside her home.

Rauti said she disagreed with the court ruling.

She said her home had gone into ​"lock down" and would remain that way "for as long as it takes".

The group's representative Lisa Gibson said it wasn't the outcome they were hoping for.

"She's sad, and she most certainly didn't want this decision to go against her," Gibson said.

Gibson said the protesters had pledged to stay for as long as Rauti needed them.

"The ball is in the TRC's court so we will have to wait and see what happens," Gibson said.

Gibson said Rauti planned to appeal the eviction notice at the High Court.

She hoped the TRC would allow Rauti to proceed through the legal justice system before "acting hastily".

Rauti's house is one of six properties to be demolished together and replaced with 12 new, four bedroom houses. The new houses are expected to be completed by April 2018.

TRC has previously offered Rauti newly built homes to move into.

She said in January houses offered to her by TRC were not good enough.

TRC housing general manager Neil Porteous said on Tuesday it would work with the relevant authorities to gain legal possession of the property.

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

Porteous welcomed the chance to talk to Rauti about her specific housing needs.

"We would also like to show her the property we have available for her which is approximately 500 metres away from her current home," he said.

Rauti had a camera strapped to her chest to document what would happen next.
