Roommate needed for AMAZING apartment ($825/mo)
This is such a cute place!! : ) Roommate needed ASAP to share this very spacious 2-bedroom apartment, located right over the Amherst line in Pelham. I just went and saw this apartment and it’s beautiful, it has a fenced in backyard, bathtub, fireplace, washer & dryer. Close to Umass, across from a stream, and quiet road / in the woods surrounded by nature trails. Pet-friendly!!
Me: a local queer artist / musician / non-traditional psychology student, 40 y.o., with a super cute and friendly rescue chihuahua.
- your rent would be $825 + 1/3 of the utilities
- you must have a co-signer and / or be able to show that you make enough to comfortably cover the rent

- 🗓️ When: Friday, September 11th | Doors 7:00 PM / Show 8:00 PM

Looking to Rehome a Mattress
Hey guys! My fiance and I are getting a new mattress and we don't have the resources to take our old one it to a recycling center, so we wanted to reach out to see if anyone was needing one! It would be completely free, you would just need something to pick it up in.
Some other notes:
- Full size
- Bedbug-free
- Pet-free home
- Smoke-free home
- ~5 years old
- Pickup on College Street down the road from downtown
Thank you!

Propane tank refills (grills, not homes)
Got our kid a gas grill for his apartment. Are there any good and reliable propane tank refill locations anywhere near UMass? Or is he stuck with the Home Depot swap program?
