All High and Low Rise buildings utilize an access card entry system for exterior doors. The card replaces a manual key and helps limit the traffic going into the building.
In order to reduce loitering and to help ensure the safety of our family development residents, the Rockford Housing Authority established a “mandatory ID ” program, which states that all residents over the age of 14 years old must obtain and carry a photo ID.

Thousands of people see our buildings and community areas every day. Our appearance influences how other community members feel about us.
It is your responsibility to take care of these areas. Always keep common areas clean and free of debris.
Persons who have committed acts of violence or drug-related criminal acts and/or exhibited behavior that is not conducive to the residents’ peaceful enjoyment of the property will be identified by RHA staff and/or security officers and will be issued a “Criminal Trespass” warning notice and banned from RHA property.
The RHA will maintain the “Criminal Trespass” list. This list will include all individuals who have been issued a trespass notice; the date of issuance, and the date the notice will expire.
Your lease is strictly enforced by RHA. Make sure you read your Lease and know what your obligations and RHA’s obligations are. If you have any questions regarding your Lease, contact your Manager. You will also be given a Resident House Rules Handbook at “Lease-in Time”. Please refer to this handbook, as an extension of your Lease; it covers all aspects of your new home. Any rules in the handbook that are violated, is the same as violating your Lease.
Rent is DUE and PAYABLE in advance on the first day of each month and shall be considered delinquent after the fifth calendar day of the month. If the resident does not pay the rent by the end of the fifth calendar day, RHA will charge a $25 Late Fee.
Failure to pay rent will result in a 14-Day Notice and is grounds to terminate your Lease agreement. Rent and other charges can be paid at the Central Office located at 223 S. Winnebago Street during normal business hours, at your building’s Management Office, or by mail. The RHA staff will not accept cash.
You will not be charged for routine maintenance. You will, however, be charged for damages caused by negligence or abuse of the property by yourself, your family, or your guests. If you are assesed a maintenace charge, a notice will be sent to your residence stating the reason and the amount of the charge(s) and establishing a due date for payment.
Utilities paid for by the resident will be billed directly from the utility company and are the responsibility of the resident to pay. Failure to maintain utility service in the head of household and/or co-head of household’s name is cause for termination of lease.
All vehicles must be in good repair and in operating condition. License plates must be current and visible. All tires must be inflated.
