Open communication with your partner about boundaries is key to a healthy, consensual relationship. Just because your partner says yes to one thing, doesn’t mean they’ve consented to going further.

Domestic violence is a leading cause of housing instability and homelessness for survivors and their children with victims often experiencing eviction due to disturbances, property damage, or financial abuse caused by their abuser.

In South Carolina, an eviction record currently permanently remains on a tenant’s record even when a case is settled, creating long-term barriers to finding safe, stable, and affordable housing.

Starting next year, new legislation will allow eviction records to be sealed after seven years.
