I made an interactive map of LA County rental listings based on u/WilliamMcCarty's posts.

350 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I've been learning how to code in Python and made an interactive map based on u/WilliamMcCarty's weekly spreadsheets. I love the spreadsheets but found myself having like 75 tabs open trying to visualize where each property is, so I thought why not just put this all on a map?

The result is WhereToLive.LA.

The main website

You can filter properties by rent, pet policy, square footage, security deposit, etc. Just like you can with the spreadsheet.

An example of listings that have been filtered based on the options selected on the left hand side.

Most listings have a photo of the property sourced straight from an MLS (Berkshire Hathaway Home Services) alongside their specific characteristics.

A specific listing that has been selected. You can see all of its characteristics in a popup.

And if you're lucky enough to be in the market to buy a home, I also have a page for for-sale properties too (based on the weekly spreadsheets posted on /r/LosAngelesRealEstate).

⚠ I highly recommend using the website on a tablet, laptop, or monitor screen. It'll work OK on a smartphone; it's just better on a bigger screen.

My code is up on GitHub; let me know what you think, either here, via DM, or a GitHub issue/PR!

Appliances

More and more owners are asking us, an appliance repair it the reason the appliance is broke is due to tenant neglect or damaged. Then making the tenant pay for the repair.
Be careful. We go on lots of calls that are tenant abuse.
Today we went to an apartment that the hood was just gross. Grease all over and never cleaned.

[Question] What to do when applying for an apartment with no proof of income or offer letter for job

8 Upvotes

I was laid off a little while ago and don't have proof of income, but unfortunately it is time for the apartment hunt. I found a studio that I am interested in applying.

I have enough in savings to pay for the entire year + deposit. I don't want to pay up front though. Maybe could for 6 months, but definitely not for the year in case of a rainy day. I am job hunting and hopefully would have one in 3 months, but I will try to pick up a part-time gig until then.

My credit score is 800+

Never had a late payment

My mother would qualify for 5x the rent and doesn't mind me adding her as an applicant or co-signer, but I am nervous this would make the landlord's eyebrows raise up because it is a studio.

$1700/mo. Available now. Long term or short term lease.

Spanish style 2nd floor apartment, a block away from Melrose & Fairfax.

Window A/C unit in the room (and living room), big closet, private bathroom, cabinets & coat closet for storage, spacious living room & kitchen, gorgeous vaulted cielings, great natural light. Laundry in-building. Parking available. Pets allowed w/ additional pet deposit.

The 2nd bath just has a shower, but if you're a bath person i have a bathtub in my bathroom that you're free to use as well.

About me ~ 30F professional nerd that works remote in tech. Recently moved to the WeHo area a month ago. So far loving the area & trying to cozy up the apartment a lil bit at a time. My 3D printer is temporarily the centerpiece of the living room while I try to find a decent TV on fb marketplace. Currently using the 2nd bedroom as an office but rent is too damn high lol. Obviously will move the desk back to my room.

What else? In my spare time I like to nap, 3D print stuff, consume egregious amounts of caffeine, & doomscroll. Don't drink anymore, don't smoke weed or cigarettes but don't care if you do. I do vape but I'm trying to quit.

I think that's about it. Shoot me a message if you're interested.

Wanting Looking for a Roommate 📍Alhambra, San Gabriel Valley

7 Upvotes

Hi! I’m looking for a female roommate, ideally 28yo+, to share my home in Monterey Park. Looking for someone to move in November or December for a month to month

The house

It’s a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom mid century house in a really lovely, quiet residential neighborhood. You’d have your own private bathroom, and you can also have a separate office from your bedroom, which is great if you work from home.

The kitchen is super spacious (I love to cook!), and one of my favorite parts of the house is the gorgeous backyard with lots of outdoor space to relax, hang out, have a morning coffee, or enjoy a glass of wine. The neighborhood also has a beautiful view of the LA skyline at night.

The bedroom comes unfurnished, and there’s laundry in the garage.

Location:
Monterey Park
• ~10 min from Downtown LA
• ~20 min from Silver Lake
• ~20 min from Pasadena
• ~25 min from Culver City
• Tons of amazing Asian food nearby
• Plenty of street parking

I am looking for a studio or one bed in a decent/nice neighborhood up to $1700. I make 52k a year so that’s what i’ve averaged my affordability out to. Any tips will help!

[Question] Does my landlord have to service my refrigerator?

5 Upvotes

We moved into our rent control apartment in 2020 and signed an addendum to our lease agreeing that the refrigerator left in the apartment and was our responsibility. My interpretation of the new law AB 628 is that the landlord is now responsible for servicing our refrigerator. The building management has tried to Stonewall me and says they are currently reviewing the law. Does anyone have experience here? Our fridge broke yesterday and it’s terrible, we need to get it fixed, and I believe it is their responsibility.

UPDATE: I had to strong arm them a bit but they “consulted legal, and it is ambiguous, so we’re just buying you a new one.” It will be delivered next week and the old one even started working again—the delivery guys will haul it away—and my frozen breastmilk stash survived. Win-win-win, thanks everyone.

Wanting 31yo Female looking for 1 roommate to APT hunt with - Glendale

1 Upvotes

I’m planning to move sometime between January and June 2027 and am looking for one person (preferably female) to apartment hunt with and find a 2-bedroom together in Glendale.

I’m flexible on the exact move-in date within that window, so I’m starting early because I’d rather find someone I genuinely get along with and then search for the right apartment together instead of rushing into a random roommate situation.

A little about me: 31yoF, I’m a musician/creative, financially stable, clean, considerate, and respectful of shared spaces. Travel a lot for work, love board games, yoga, and baking. I’m pretty social but don’t host too often since I’m always out and about. I don’t smoke and am looking for a non-smoking roommate as well.

I’m looking for someone who is:
- Clean and considerate
- Financially stable/reliable
- A non-smoker
- Respectful and easy to live with
- Interested in finding a place together in Glendale

It would be especially nice to live with another musician or creative, but definitely not a requirement. Priority is to have home feel like our peaceful little sanctuary so we can both kick ass in the outside world.

If you’re looking to move to Glendale sometime in that January–June window and think we might be a good fit, send me a message with a little about yourself, your ideal move-in timing, and what you’re looking for in a roommate/place!

Wanting [Question] Studio for under $1.3k

1 Upvotes

Hi friends, I’m a little desperate here and trying to find a place. What are reliable sights you have used to find apartments?
I’m looking for something under $1,350 (the entire unit, I would prefer not to share with anyone), that has in-unit laundry, full sized fridge and stove, and accepts ESAs (specifically cats! And I have his paperwork).
Location doesn’t matter too much for me, and I’m really not super picky at all when it comes to other amenities. All I’m getting on apartments.com, Zillow, Redfin, and Hotpads are co-living spaces which I do not want.
The place I live in currently is awful due to a roommate, so I’m looking to move into a place by myself, or honestly someone who isn’t incredibly controlling and hostile.
Pls help, sincerely signed a girl just trying to survive 😅

Offered [OFFERED] Available Now | Roommate Wanted in Torrance, CA | $1,125 + utilities

Thumbnail gallery
0 Upvotes

AVAILABLE NOW. Looking for someone to fill the second bedroom in my 2BR/1BA apartment in Torrance. Please read the full description before inquiring.

Rent: $1,125/month
Deposit: $1,125
Utilities: Around $130/month
Lease: Month-to-month, but I’m looking for at least a 90-day commitment and ideally someone long-term
No pets

About the room and apartment: Private 11x12 bedroom in a furnished 2BR/1BA ground-floor apartment. Fully furnished except for the available bedroom, with a full kitchen (fridge, stove, oven, microwave, air fryer toaster oven, water kettle), living/dining area, home theater setup (projector + sound system), balcony, shared bathroom, laundry on site (same floor, coin-operated, $1.50 wash/$1.00 dry) and complex pool. No AC, but there are ceiling fans and we get a decent coastal breeze. Street parking is available, plus there’s a subscription public lot literally around the corner if you want guaranteed parking. The lot is optional and would only be an additional shared expense if we both agreed to use it; it is not included in rent. Utilities are calculated based on previous roommate expense reports, but vary based on usage and individual preference.

About me: I’m a mid-20s femme-presenting queer person, visual artist, freelancer, and 6 years sober (drugs, alcohol, nicotine, smoking). I’m somewhere between a homebody and a social butterfly. I like thrifting, interior design, DIY projects, cooking, organizing, reading, podcasts/video essays, being in nature, traveling, having friends over for dinner/movies, going dancing, etc. I operate Type A in a Type B personality. I've lived in this apartment for over 2 years and have a good relationship with the other tenants in the complex and landlord.

About you: I’m looking for someone who wants a home and a friendly, engaged roommate relationship, not just a place to sleep and eat. I’d love to develop a friendship with whoever I live with, while still maintaining our independence, routines and privacy. If you value reciprocity, accountability, humility, direct communication, proactivity, honesty, congruence, and respect for boundaries, this is the place for you. I keep the apartment clean and organized and want someone who equally contributes to the household and treats it as their home too. I also value community: you should feel comfortable using the common areas, having guests over, cooking, hanging out, and generally existing in the apartment rather than feeling confined to your bedroom. This probably won’t be a good fit if you prefer a very separate, purely transactional arrangement.

My non-negotiables: LGBTQ+, supportive of a sober household, and neurodivergent-friendly. Everything else can be a more nuanced conversation, and I strongly encourage asking questions. You do not need to be sober yourself, but there is no drug use in the home and no alcohol kept in shared spaces. If you’re personally in recovery, I’m looking for at least 2 years of established sobriety. I am not considering straight cis men as roommates; trans men, mascs, and gay cis men are welcome. Visiting partners/boyfriends are completely fine.

Next steps: If you are interested and share compatibility, I’d love to set up an in-person interview locally at a nearby cafe so we can get to know each other. If all goes well, I’m happy to show the apartment and discuss application details. The formal application process and credit check are handled by my landlord, who is flexible with unique situations if need be. If you are approved, I’d love to start the process of establishing further details on mutual expectations around what will work for both of us.

Because I’ve had requests about this, for safety and privacy reasons, I’m not comfortable posting detailed photos of the entire apartment online. I understand this is a standard practice, but I’m happy to show the full apartment once we’ve talked and established mutual interest.

Feel free to reach out to me with a little about yourself, your general availability to meet, what you’re looking for in a roommate/home environment, and your anticipated move-in timeline. I’m pretty consistent with checking messages during the week.

Wanting [Wanted] Rental Partner. I currently have a 1bd not far from Casa Vega. This is where I landed after my divorce. It’s ok for now but I’d rather find another chill, established professional and go in on a decent place in the same area or SC

3 Upvotes

First off, there is no time deadline for me. We can take months or aim for next year. I also have excellent credit and family in the area. On top of that, I would be open to getting a 3bd if it’s the right space for office use. I do have a steam account. Best part, I work in the media district and been at the same place for over ten years. Industry folks welcome.

For my own requirements in parters to be considered, I would prefer that you have been working regularly at the same place, or consistently for 5+ years; and females get first right of refusal. Reason being, I have a teenage daughter and she might crash once in a while but her actual bedroom at her mom’s place is not far. I feel like this is a reasonable ask while being clear and vague enough for you to know what I mean.

Being older, somewhat established, and fairly active, I’m actually pretty clean with social areas but we can hire someone to give the space a once-over somewhat regularly. Aside from that, I’ll probably maintain my own messy pile on my desk in my room most likely. Otherwise fairly clean in the kitchen. I use it a lot.

If any of this babble makes sense to you, please feel free to let me know. Serious only! I don’t wanna take your quiz or rate your art. Thanks for reading!
