Tyra, great video! Every renter in the city of LA should know about REAP (Rent Escrow Account Program). I mention this because you talked about the roaches in your building, which means it's uninhabitable, especially if it's a persistent problem. Basically, if your landlord gets cited for a violation (like for roaches) and it's not fixed within a certain period of time, you pay reduced rent until it's fixed.

Read your lease before signing too, there are a lot og legitamate leasing companies engaged in predatory practices too. If you can rent directly from an owner that's the best arrangement. Consider renting a room in a house until you get established. Have a plan to get back home in case LA doesn't work for you.

Invitation homes is notoriously terrible. They bait and switch. Have clauses allowing them to raise the rent during the lease and you are on the hook for it. I can't stress enough to read every word before signing. And if there is a mistake and they say to sign it anyway because you know what they meant. Don't sign it until they give you a new corrected copy. Companies lie, cheat, and steal.

This was really good information! I learned the hard way how important it is to read reviews about apartments regardless of where you live. I live in the DC area and moved into an apartment community to save money and thought the apartment was okay enough. But not long after I moved in, the roaches gave me a welcoming party....first grandfathers, then babies, toddlers, teenagers, aunts, uncles, etc. It was a nightmare! The Leasing Manager wouldn't let me out of my lease without charging me a hefty fee. But when I started posting pictures of the bugs on Yelp, they called me quickly to let me out of my lease with no charge. Happy ending but I paid a stressful price.

Born & raised here. When I was a kid in the 70s, the ONLY homeless I ever saw was Downtown/Skid Row. Before malls, my mom would take us to Downtown because that's where most of the stores were, so it was there when we'd see homeless. Fast forward to 2021 . . . now ALL of SoCal is full of homeless. It's really depressing what has happened to my town.

I lived in LA a long time ago, in 2005 and I remember the helicopters. I also remember that McArhur park was not as bad as it is now, but it was freaky to walk close by. Thank you so much for this video, I always wanted to go back but after listening to this video probably not. I might go to OC

You do need a car here. But in the early 90s, I was a single mom who did just fine without a car for four years. However, I had laundry in my apartment complex and lived next door to the grocery store. In those days, the grocery carts didn’t lock up if you ventured so many yards away from the store. I wheeled the cart all the way to my front door. Every week or so, trucks would come around and collect the carts from all over the city. Back then, we didn’t have a Metro rail system. My daughter’s school was right in the neighborhood and had before-and-after-school care. I walked her to school and caught the bus right across the street from the school. I worked downtown and at least three or four bus lines took the freeway downtown. From there it was a short walk to my office. If I needed to shop I took the bus to the mall or wherever. A lot of stuff, especially Christmas gifts, I ordered from catalogs. There was also a drugstore and a five-and-dime in the same strip mall as the grocery store. There was also a record store, swap meet, a beauty supply, a park, a public pool, my daughter’s summer day camp, and restaurants either down the street or across the street.

I'm from the midwest. I'm thinking about moving here if only for 2 months. I've always said LA is fun to visit but not fun to live in, I've been to the city several times. Homelessness is everywhere. Then you have the very rich areas where the homes are worth millions. There seems to be a disconnect between the elite and the other people.
@gladlock 3 жыл бұрын
I think the opposite, it’s boring to visit but great to live. We have little history and no central area, so it’s nearly impossible to really get the “highlights” done on a trip. So you only have amusement parks or cheesy tourist traps like Hollywood walk of fame. If you live here, we have the beach and not too far there are great mountains and hikes, and so many neighborhoods with their own character. There is so much good food, for all diets and special needs! You can find any kind of physical fitness activity to suit you. You can bike lots of places. We have great places to shop. We have great professional and university sports. Good museums. There is so much to do, we are ok paying $2000 for 1 bedroom because we spend so much time outside

I am new to your page, im looking to move to california from NY within the next 3 months and this video was helpful. just curious to know if the apartment complex you referred to in your video was the Chadwick? (not sure if you are at liberty to say) if not completely understandable. on another note if possible, can you do a video of LA best neighborhoods to live in for black professional women regarding safety, convenience etc in your opinion? There are so many options I confused here. Thanks!

I've heard it's super hard to land an apartment without a job (proof of income). So what I was thinking was renting a long term airbnb with my roommate for 2 months or so - work as hard as I can to get any kind of job, and then as soon as I get a job go crazy walking around looking for an apartment. Do you think a long term airbnb while I try to land all this is a good idea? Thanks - I'll definitely keep watching your vids!

Anything to further THEIR OWN GOAL, even if it's ON THE ACCOUNT OF YOU TAKING A HIT. It's pathetic. Genuine people always wins in the end, and flaky, fake people will never have success because people will catch on.
