Are Pets Allowed?
Melfort Housing Authority also has a “No Pets” policy. This policy applies to both tenants and guests.
Can I Install My Own Lock?
You may not install your own locks. If your lock is not secure, call our office and we can replace it for you. Please think carefully before you decide to give out a copy of your house key. If problems do arise from giving a key to someone else, the locks can be changed by the housing authority, but you will be responsible for the cost involved. Keys will only be given to adults who are on the lease.
Who pays the utilities?
Families must pay all their own utilities (gas, power and water).
Seniors must pay for power only – dependent on the building, either a flat fee or if available connect power in your own name.
Utilities must be remain connected in order to reside in our units. If any utility service is disconnected, you will be required to vacate the property.
TV, internet, telephone and the like are the responsibility of the tenant and are not considered required utilities.
What Should I Do If I Lock Myself Out?
You may contact the housing authority and a member of the maintenance staff will unlock the door, providing you can prove you are the tenant of that home with photo ID. If you are locked out after regular business hours, a fee will be charged. Keys will only be given to adults who are on the lease.
