Tifton Housing Authority Residents:
Over the course of the last few months, numerous fights have occurred on THA property. This behavior is unacceptable and will not be tolerated! Please know that if you or your guests are involved in any form of criminal activity, including fighting, your lease may be terminated per the terms of your signed lease. The COVID-19 eviction moratorium does not cover criminal activity. Therefore, evictions based on criminal activity, including fighting, are currently allowed.
As a reminder to all heads of households, you are responsible for your household members and all household guests!

ATTENTION
The trash problem at our properties has gotten out of control. Each tenant is responsible for the area around your apartment. You must pick up trash in your area. You are responsible for your children and guests if they throw trash on the grounds. Be on notice that we will be writing tickets and issuing fines to tenants who do not comply. All of this is a part of your lease and non-compliance is a lease violation and subject to lease termination.
You are responsible for the appearance of the area around your apartment. Here are some other violations:
- Indoor furniture cannot be outside the apartment.
- Old tires, furniture and other discarded items cannot be outside the apartment.
- No driving and/or parking on the grass. There are no exceptions!
- Swimming pools, basketball goals and satellite dishes are prohibited.
- No smoking in your unit or any other Tifton Housing Authority building.
- No smoking within 25 feet of any building.
- Pouring grease down a drain or on the ground is prohibited.
- DO NOT tamper with smoke and/or carbon monoxide detectors.
If you have a grill on your front porch or in your front yard, please move it to the back of your apartment TODAY.
The office of Tifton Housing Authority remains closed to anyone physically. However, we are answering the phones and continuing to address any concerns our residents may have.
Work orders are handled on a case-by-case basis, with emergencies answered first and then any issues that may cause future problems handled. If you have an emergency after our normal business hours, remember to press 2 to be transferred to the maintenance voice mail.
Additionally, annual recertifications and interims are being handled via mail or email.
Remember, rent is still due as usual. By the 7th for public housing and by the 5th for those in Deas.
If you have any questions, please feel free to call us at 229-382-5434.
