Housing

• What I'm looking for in an apartment
• Questions to ask a potential roommate
• Questions to ask a potential landlord
• Changing your address after you move
• Massachusetts Tenant Information online is fantastic. Or if you're not in MA, maybe TenantNet has some information for your state. They feature New York, for strange reason. *grin*
• If you're looking for an apartment in Central Massachusetts, I recommend The Worcester Telegram, and if you're looking in the Providence, Rhode Island, area, I recommend The Providence Journal.

• If you keep thinking, hearing - or telling someone - "Why don't you just leave?" then this list might help.
• In Central Massachusetts, you can call the Rape Crisis Center - they can also refer you to other services as needed.
• For supporters: Things You Need To Know When A Battered Person Calls For Emergency Shelter - this also has a list items to bring when you leave.
• Is this happening to you or someone you know? Read the Warning Signals of Abusive Behavior.
• I Cannot Remember All The Times is a poem that might help.
• The Sexual Assault Information Page WAS wonderful, but it seems to be no more.
