Public Housing residents have the right to a safe and decent living environment, the right to organize and participate in resident organizations, the right to receive proper notice before any lease termination or eviction action, and the right to a grievance hearing to dispute HA decisions. Residents also have the right to be free from discrimination based on race, color, national origin, religion, sex, disability, or familial status.
In return, residents are responsible for paying rent on time each month, maintaining their unit in a clean and sanitary condition, not engaging in or permitting any criminal activity on the premises, adhering to all lease terms and House Rules, and reporting maintenance issues promptly. Violations of lease terms can result in lease termination and legal action for eviction.
