HOUSING TOP TIPS

  • Choose your housemates carefully. Remember you'll be living with them for at least a year.
  • Visit the property. What sounds good on paper might not be so good in real life. Have a look and ask about anything you're unsure of.
  • Read your contract carefully. The Advice Centre can check your tenancy agreement if there is anything you need assistance with.
  • Take photos/videos of the meter readings and your room in case of any disputes at the end of your tenancy.

Don't ignore hate crime – report it!

Why should I report it?

Hate crimes and incidents are hurtful, confusing and frightening. By reporting them you may be able to prevent future incidents from happening to someone else. You will also help the police to understand the extent of hate crime in your local area so they can better respond to it.

Hate crimes are crimes that are targeted at a person because of hostility or prejudice towards their:

  • Disability
  • Race or Ethnicity
  • Religion or belief
  • Sexual orientation
  • Transgender

These can be committed against a person or their property.
