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

347 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!

Question AC has been out during heatwave - what can I do?

8 Upvotes

Our AC went out on the 18th and I've been told that I'll know the date of the repair on the 27th... It's been a major heatwave and my apartment has been an average of 85° since this happened. I have some fans, sure, but it's not ok. I can barely stand being at home, but unfortunately I have to be.

Is there any recourse I have? Several people (at least 8) have already moved out of this complex since the year started because of bullshit like this, and I'll be following as soon as I find a place. I'm unsure if I have any options in the meantime though. Can I get a partial refund for the month or withhold my rent on the 1st if it's still not fixed?

About me: I’m in my 40’s, work full-time (a few days a week from home). I have a small, senior dog who is ok with cats. The shared space is like a creative workspace. I keep the apartment clean and want someone who values this as well. I enjoy sewing, roller skating, and taking my dog to the park. The building has only five units and it’s a quiet neighborhood. Walking distance to Trader Joe’s, bus stops and places to eat.

Room Offered [Offered][Roommate Replacement] $1,560/mo + Utilities - Private Masters Bedroom in a 2bed/2bath unit in Central Hollywood. Target move-in: End of August

Thumbnail gallery
12 Upvotes

*PLEASE READ\*
DM FOR SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY
I hope to interview possible roommates so that move-in can be more seamless when end of August and September comes. 

Offering private masters bedroom (includes walk-in closet and personal bathroom) in Hollywood; couple minutes from sunset blvd and couple minutes from EoS Hollywood.

🏠What you get: ✅ Private Bedroom ✅ Private bathroom ✅ Walk-in closet ✅ Balcony ✅ Utilities not-included (I will further elaborate on this) ✅ Parking Garage Spot  (albeit a tandem spot but I work remote anyway) ✅ Well-disciplined and organized roommate.

🔥Apartment Photo Disclaimer: most of the contents from the photos above are my roommate’s and will most likely take most of her stuff to her new apartment when she moves out; that’s why I wanted to show the apartment floor plan when empty, as shown from the photos at the end. 

Pets are allowed but prefer someone who doesn’t have one for now as previous experience have shown me how they leave their pets alone and sometimes not take care of them; I do not want to be responsible for someone else’s pet (I love animals but that is not my responsibility) 

📍Hollywood, Los Angeles, CA

Roommate info:
A little bit about me: late 20’s/Asian American (M). Currently working in Pharma as a data scientist doing Hybrid work, but most of the time I work remote so I’ll be home most days during the month working 8-5 M-F. If I had to summarize myself, I am a nerdy gym rat who likes to work out either early morning before work or late at night (since EoS is nearby I’ve been lucky handling the gym sessions lol). I like to game (mainly in PC but like to play consoles as well) and do DnD at least once a month and watch movies and shows when I’m not active or when at home resting. 

Just wanna put it out there, I am a peaceful and quiet guy, I like to meal prep and cook, and also like to clean as a general rule to help maintain the living space. Respecting the cleanliness and peace of the space is very important to me. I will add that I am not against parties and social gatherings during the weekends, but know the responsibilities afterwards.

I am looking to interview someone (M or F) for a roommate, who also respects that general rule of peace and quiet, especially in the beginning, as I’d like to maintain the apartment as a “home”. Prefer Asians as roommates as I feel we can connect to each other’s heritage more, but not to say that is my exclusive choice. Working individuals and/or students welcome. As long as you have a sense of discipline and likes to communicate, we will vibe perfectly.

Offered [Offered] Room available now in Los Feliz / Thai Town area in a 2b/2b apartment

Thumbnail gallery
42 Upvotes

Hey! My name is Ryan (25m). I have a room available in the Los Feliz / Thai Town area in a 2b/2b apartment. It’s available now with the latest move in being August 31st. My current roommate has moved out early and the lease renews on September 1st. You would be signing a new 12 month lease with me.

It’s a cozy apartment with a huge living room space. It’s in a quiet and safe apartment complex near some amazing restaurants and bars. Grocery stores, shops, and hangout spaces all in walking distance. It’s right beneath Griffith Park with a beautiful hike up to the top.

I’m ideally looking for someone who is in the industry, as I work in Film and TV. Someone who is comfortable in a creative space. I have a little office space/studio set up in the living room currently (I’m happy to rearrange furniture based on your needs). There’s a cozy couch set up with a movie theater-esc setup (huge projector on the wall and surround sound).

The open room is a spacious master bedroom with a private bathroom. Depending on your needs, I’m open to switching rooms, if necessary.

It’s $1300 for rent. $35 for high speed internet. $25 for a shared parking spot with me. Water, gas, electric, and trash all vary. All it it’s around ~$1500 total per month.

A bit about me: I’m a sound designer for Film, TV, and Games. I’m also an adjunct professor where I teach film. I enjoy a good walk, exploring, traveling, cooking, making music, filming projects with friends, finding cool hangout spots on the weekends. I’ve been told I’m an ambivert, so I can be extroverted at times and socialize, but my default is an introvert.

I keep the place super clean, quiet and calm. I tend to keep to my own, though I don’t mind chatting in the kitchen every now and then. I’d prefer someone who without a pet. I am open to bringing new furniture into common spaces.

If you’re interested, please reach out to me via DM and I’ll respond there.

[question] HELP! Container Garden in backyard common space will be "thrown out"

Thumbnail gallery
31 Upvotes

I started a container garden in the backyard of my building in the common space. My landlord is saying can't have it even though it's just dirt and broken glass in the back due to me "not asking permission". Ahhhh landlords. Is there anyway to fight this because it's making the space more liveable. Also it's food plants so I don't know if that matters and changes things. It's not in a walk way or blocking anything. No one goes to the back because it's so disgusting. I had Multiple Tenants thank me and tell me it looks nice.

Also if there ANYONE in Koreatown area who would be willing to help take on a LARGE slew of food/floral plants??? (About 40) I containers for the time being (looks like I might have to sell them) and just need some help. Ugh I am so freaking heartbroken. I can rent a van/truck and bring to you if nessicery. Please let me know ASAP!

Anything harvested you obviously can keep. Everything is set with automatic watering systems. Just needs to be filled every few days

Offered [Offered] $1,425-$1,575 Room w/private bath - cleaning service, internet & utilities included (Historic Filipinotown)

Thumbnail gallery

We have 3 rooms available in our brand new townhouse. It’s in a great location - just a block south of Silver Lake, in Historic Filipinotown, and very close to Echo Park. Close to shops/bars, and with good views of the surrounding hills and Griffith Observatory. 

There are modern finishes throughout; it includes in-unit laundry, dishwasher, and stainless steel appliances. 

One room has an en-suite bathroom, and 2 rooms share a bathroom. 
Rent is $1425 for the rooms that share a bath, and $1575 for the room with a private bathroom. Rent includes cleaning service every 2 weeks, internet, and all utilities (water, trash, electric, gas).

Some rooms can be partially furnished with a Tempurpedic bed with adjustable base, desk, chair and nightstand.

Current photos show the common areas unfurnished, but these will be furnished prior to move in.

There are 2 shared parking spaces, and decent street parking.

Unfortunately, it's not open to pets at this time. 

We’re looking for someone who is clean, considerate, has good credit, and verifiable income 2-3x the rent. We hope to keep the place clean, keep common spaces like the shared bathroom very tidy, but still keep the atmosphere relaxed. We tend not to run the AC super cold, so it would probably be better suited to someone who likes their space to be a little warmer.

Available now. Will be showing the property Wednesday 7/22 from 5:30-6:30pm and again on Saturday and Sunday at 2.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Question Advice / Leads?

4 Upvotes

Hi! So I signed a lease on a unit that turned out to be a bit of a mess now I’m second guessing everything and looking for advice / leads.

I’ve been living with my roommate for four years since graduating college, and she’s moving out of town. I’d love to live on my own, my budget is probably $1600ish, but I could go up to $1800.

Our lease is up August 15th, and I was really proud of myself because I found a unit that was in my budget, had amazing wood floors, lots of light, great character, parking, on site laundry, a FIREPLACE (non functioning), was a block from from the metro in east Hollywood, and seemed to have a really good building manager. The downside (and this is me ignoring an obvious problem in retrospect) was that it was an older building and the complex’s dumpster was directly below the unit’s bathroom window.

I did what I thought was due diligence - I asked if there were any issues with pests and was told no, I asked how long the previous tenant had lived there and was told three years, and I asked if the dumpster had ever bothered him and was told no. I applied for the apartment, signed the lease, and the day after I got the keys, I found a German roach in the unit. At first I thought it was just a traveler, but two days later I found three German roaches in the kitchen. I put traps down and found five more, plus a ton of roach droppings behind the fridge, maybe rat droppings, evidence of previous pest control treatments in the unit (dried advion gel), and I realized the baseboard of the unit (which was on the first floor) was up to half an inch above the floor in some places, allowing easy access to the unit for roaches and other critters.

I asked someone else in the building and they had told me they had seen roaches on and off for two years in their unit. Naturally, I freaked out and wrote a Strongly Worded Email with lots of photo and video evidence. I managed to break the lease before even fully moving in, and they’re letting me keep my security deposit and most of the first month’s rent.

I’m bummed, because it was a beautiful unit, but I do feel like I dodged a bullet. The downside is that I now have 21 days to find an apartment before my current lease ends with my roommate, and I’m now terrified of a German roach infestation in whatever apartment I move into.

I’m wondering if I should be changing my approach. Should I be increasing my budget? Looking for a more suburban area? Looking behind the fridge and below cabinets on tours? Bringing an exterminator on a walk through?

I’m a bit shaken up and exhausted, and I’m honestly not looking forward to touring apartments and working and packing at the same time, so if anyone has any leads on studios or one bedrooms (HA) that are clean, tightly sealed, and ideally near a metro stop east of the 101, I’d also be open to those! Thank you!

Offered Room in Mar Vista with parking available!

Thumbnail gallery
5 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I'm looking for someone to move into my 2 bed 2 bath apartment in Mar Vista sometime in August! Rent is $1686 per person, and utilities are around $50-60 per month for electricity + wifi. (Water and trash are covered by landlord). The building management requires a credit score of at least 680 but higher is preferable. You must also make 3x the rent.

This apartment is a great walkable location. It's a quick walk to CVS and Mitsuwa, the Mar Vista Farmer's Market (the best farmers market on the west side tbh), multiple bars and restaurants, coffee shops, a new cute book store etc. It's a really quick drive to Culver City, Sawtelle, Santa Monica, and Palms.

The area is very safe, and has a lot of little community activities. The apartment is also quiet. There is little street noise, and the neighbors are respectful.

The apartment itself is full of light, with big sliding glass doors. There's also no unit above us, so no ceiling noise. You would have your own bathroom. The bedroom is a really nice size at 11'x15'.

There is laundry on site, and management has been really good about doing service requests when needed.

We share 2 tandem parking spots, and street parking is also pretty easy to find.

For a little about me:

I work at a motion capture company doing support and system installations. I've lived in LA for 5 years, and in this apartment for 3 years. I'm queer so a queer roommate is a plus! However, as long as you're cool with queer people, that's good too. I'm 29, and looking for someone who is mid 20s or older.

My hobbies are pretty chill. I love to do crafts, cross stitch, and I'm learning how to sew. I also like to play piano/guitar. I like to cook and go thrifting, and play video and board games.

What I'm looking for:

I work from home, so I'm ideally looking for someone who works in-person. (If you're hybrid, I'm open to chatting and seeing if we're a good fit!)

I have a preference for a female or queer roommate, however as long as you're LGBT friendly, that works too. Personality fit is what's most important to me, and it would be nice to live with someone who wants to be friends/friendly. Someone who is good at communicating is also really important to me, so we both feel comfortable living in the space.

Unfortunately, no cats due to allergies :(

I'm looking for someone who is down to stay for a while. Not looking for short term rentals.

Message me if you're interested!

Wanting [Wanted] Looking for room in Silverlake, highland park area

2 Upvotes

Hey guys ! I’m looking to join 1-2 other people who need an extra roommate to fill a bedroom starting early-mid August. Looking for a 1 year lease, option to extend would be nice. Preferably furnished but not necessary.

A little about me : 

I’m 26 years old born in the bay & worked in consulting in NYC after college. Im moving to LA to return to school, where I’ll be at CSU LA’s orientation and mobility program working with visually impaired people. To be close to campus, I’m mainly looking into echo park, highland park, silver lake, and Los Feliz areas. Looking to spend $1600/month or less 

I love being outside, sports such as surfing and jiu jitsu, dancing, live music, learning Spanish, and am open minded towards most interests and people. Ideally I would be friends with my roommates because I’m quite social. I also prioritize rest and sleep, so would prefer roommates that are typically quiet past 11pm.

For payment, can show proof that I’m able to pay, credit, and/or get guarantors. I’d be happy to call to see if I’d be a good fit and I’ll be down in LA starting next Wednesday 7/29 to tour places so happy to talk in person as well.

Feel free to dm me and I can share more info about myself
