Wink-Loving ISD board approves district housing rent structure for 2026-27
Summary
The Wink-Loving ISD Board approved the district's housing rent structure for 2026-27, maintaining existing monthly rates across apartments, single- and double-wide trailers and new brick homes and reiterating tenant responsibilities for lawn care and conduct.
The Wink-Loving ISD Board of Trustees voted unanimously May 19 to approve the district's housing rent structure for the 2026-27 year, keeping the current rates and tenant maintenance expectations in place.
The approved schedule retains tiered pricing: two-bedroom apartments at $350 (without lawn service) and $425 (with lawn service) per month, double-wide trailers at $550 (with lawn service) and a four-bedroom brick home listed at $650 (with lawn service). The board packet clarifies tenant responsibilities: tenants are expected to maintain lawns and yards, city services including water are provided at no cost, smoking is prohibited inside district housing, and pets must be housebroken and not damage property.
The motion was made by Trustee Raymond Dodd and seconded by Trustee Jerome Dewberry; the motion "passed with a unanimous vote." The superintendent's administrative consideration noted that the rent structure "has stayed the same the past few years." The board discussed how tenants who decline lawn service could be charged or opt for properties not offered with lawn service.
Board approval authorizes district staff to implement the published rent tiers for the upcoming lease year and leaves in place the tenant conduct and maintenance expectations described in the board packet. No dollar amounts for projected housing revenue or budget impacts were presented beyond the rent schedule itself.
