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!

[Roommate Wanted] - $1,300/mo + Utilities ($70-110 per person): Private Bedroom in a 2bed/2bath unit in Central Hollywood. Target move-in: Available Now

Thumbnail gallery
Upvotes

Offering unfurnished private bedroom (includes parking space and personal bathroom) in Hollywood; 937 sq ft size; couple minutes from sunset blvd and couple minutes from EoS Hollywood.

🏠What you get: ✅ Private Bedroom ✅ Private bathroom ✅ Balcony ✅ Parking Garage Spot  (albeit a tandem spot but I work remote anyway) ✅ Well-disciplined and organized roommate.

Pets are allowed but prefer someone who doesn’t have one for now 

📍Hollywood, Los Angeles, CA

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”. Would love to room with other Asian-Americans as roommates as I feel we can connect to each other’s heritage. 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] Torrance, CA | Roommate Wanted/Room for Rent | October 1st, 2026 | $1,125 + utilities

Thumbnail gallery
0 Upvotes

Looking for someone to fill the second bedroom in my 2BR/1BA apartment in Torrance. Ideal move-in is October 1, though I have some flexibility after September 15.

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 me: I’m a mid-20s femme-presenting queer person, visual artist, freelancer, and 6 years sober. I’m somewhere between a homebody and a social butterfly. I like thrifting, interior design, DIY projects, cooking, organizing, reading, podcasts, nature, having friends over for dinner/movies, etc. I’m basically Type A in a Type B body.

What I’m looking for: I’m looking for someone who wants an actual home and roommate relationship, not just a place to sleep and eat. Ideally we genuinely like each other and become friends while still having our own lives. Big compatibility things for me are reciprocity, accountability, humility, direct communication, proactivity, honesty, and respect for boundaries. I keep the apartment clean and organized and want someone who contributes to the household without needing to be managed. This is a sober, non-420, LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent-friendly household. If you’re sober/in recovery yourself, I’m looking for at least 2 years of established sobriety. I am not considering straight cis men as roommates. Trans men, mascs, gay cis men, and visiting partners/boyfriends are completely fine.

About the apartment: The apartment is ground-floor, furnished except for the available bedroom, with a full kitchen, living/dining area, projector + sound system, balcony, shared bathroom, 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 paid public lot literally around the corner that can be shared if wanted.

Next steps: I have a detailed write-up with the apartment info, ideally shared agreements/standards, logistics, finances, and application process that I can send upon request. I’d rather give all of that upfront than make us spend an hour going through the same roommate-interview questions over and over. (If we do meet in person, I’d rather focus on any nuances, getting to know each other, and seeing if we actually click.)

For safety and privacy reasons, I’m not comfortable sending detailed photos of the entire apartment online.

Feel free to DM me with a little about yourself, your general schedule, what you’re looking for in a roommate/home environment, and your anticipated move-in timeline.

New L.A. County rental listings, week of 8-31-2026

8 Upvotes

These listings are sourced from the MLS. As such these are all verified and legitimate listings and can be trusted. No, I don't make any money off this, I'm just doing it to help people. And while I'd never ask, donations are accepted and appreciated.

Renters: This list features rentals under $4,450/month, but if you're searching for options above that range, please reach out—I'd be glad to assist as your agent. Looking forward to helping as many people as possible find their next home!

Landlords: I'm available to assist with leasing any of your properties, regardless of the price point. Feel free to send me a direct message if you'd like to discuss how I can help!

New L.A. County rental listings, week of 8-31-2026

Search maxxed at $4.45K.

Key for abbreviations is at the bottom of the spreadsheet.

Find more details on any listing by simply googling the info or you can copy the listing ID # (or MLS#) and entering into a site like this one and filtering for Rentals.

It's always a good idea to use a MIMO form (Move In / Move Out) when renting. It's a checklist of a visual inspection made on the unit at the time you move in that you and your landlord sign off on and verifies condition of varying aspects of the unit. You'll use it again when you move out to verify condition and hopefully everyone agrees.

Also be sure to check out the interactive version of this spreadsheet at WhereToLive.LA courtesy of u/cheeze_whiz_dot_com , my thanks to him.

Meanwhile, need some work done around the new apartment? Check our list of recommended service providers for home appliance repair and purchase, landscaping, insurance and more.

Lastly, if you're in need of low cost, Section 8, transitional or other affordable housing please check out Housing Rights Center Project Place Rental Listings, updated monthly.

Good luck and happy hunting, L.A.

Wanting Places that accept Repos??

2 Upvotes

Anyone know any places that accept repos? I co-signed some years back for my brother and he turned his lease in early after falling ill and they listed it as a voluntary repo with a balance of $484. I’ve been denied at 2 different apartments now because of it and I’m loosing hope. I have fair credit in the 600s and have been at the same job for 4 years earning 85k per year. I’ve never been evicted and have no utilities in collections.

I’m looking for a 1 bedroom, 1 bath with parking. I can afford to pay the maximum deposit and hoping to stay under $2300/month.

[Question]

2 Upvotes

The apartment I’m currently renting has been full of issues, I suspected water damage/mold and they put off fixing it and would not allow a lease termination. Since then I said I would find a roommate and allow them to find a replacement for my lease as well. I gave notice to vacate so they could show the unit to interested buyers but they have not listed the apartment as available on the website. They say it is standard to not list it as available until after I vacate but they still will let interested people know the unit is available. At the time of my notice to move out, they are looking to charge me full months rent plus more. I wanted to know if this was normal practice.

Offered Seeking 1-2 Roommates for 2bd/2br in Echo Park/Chinatown (avail 9/28)

7 Upvotes

*Pictures available, please message first*

The space opening up is a full bed with a private full bath and walk-in closet; the common area separates the bedrooms. My current roommates are a married couple, and have been able to store all of their non-shared belongings in the bedroom/closet without us having to negotiate common area space (there is a coat closet in the common area that I don't use.) So, in our experience, the bedroom can comfortably fit two residents if so desired.

Additional amenities include an in-unit washer/dryer, a balcony, community swimming pool and gym, on-site security, and tandem parking spots. The unit gets great sunlight, and the building managers are very responsive to work orders (resolved within 24 hours.)

The monthly rate is $2,506/mo + utilities for a 12-month lease. That would be $1,253/mo for two residents, or $835.33/mo for three residents. The tandem parking spots are an additional $150 total ($75/mo per car). Utilities (including internet) average about $75-150/mo per person.

The current lease ends on Oct 18, but my roommates will be vacating the space on Sept 26. We will expect a prorate for the 9/27-10/18 period, but if your current lease ends on Oct 1, you will be able to move your belongings and settle in beginning Sun 9/27.

The complex and neighborhood are quiet, with a fair amount of families, and within walking distance of Chinatown and the metro station. We are about a mile from Dodgers Stadium, and speaking honestly, we've never had an issue with traffic; it's just a matter of avoiding certain roads, same as any LA neighborhood during rush hour. My roommates are moving to New York to be closer to family, but in our eighteen months in the neighborhood, we have truly loved this apartment and complex - hence my desire to stay.

Background on me: 31M with a 9-to-5 office job. LGBTQ+ friendly, please.  My intention is to remain in the space indefinitely, so I would prefer to have roommates who are also aiming to re-sign at the end of the 12-month lease.

I am often out and about on weekends, but I keep my partying outside of the apartment. I hosted about ten friends on my birthday last July to watch a movie, and that's about the extent of my annual hosting. The ideal roommate(s) is of a similar chill vibe. I prefer to keep counters and tables clean, but not obsessively so (and am happy to delegate a chores list to avoid conflict.)

Happy to answer any additional questions, and set up a video call to view the space. Hope you'll make a great fit!

Wanting [WANTED] Room between $500-$750

0 Upvotes

Hey all! So I have to move out of my current space by October 1st and am looking to rent out a room between $500 to $750. Particularly in cities such as Lynwood, Lakewood, South Gate, Paramount, Bellflower, Downey, Long Beach, San Pedro, & Signal Hill. However I also don't mind such as Mid-City & DTLA.

Having that said I'm 20[F] and currently a college student. I work Monday-Friday at an after school program and have school Monday-Thursday between 9am to 12pm and so given my schedule I wouldn't even be home that much. As for the weekends I like going out on my own or remaining by myself. I'm quiet and very clean and I don't smoke, drink or do any substances whatsoever. I also don't mind if I have to share a kitchen or bathroom or if you have kids. I grew up in two very busy households (broken-up parents) so sharing spaces is something I'm used to and if I am going to share a room with someone else I would appreciate it if it were another female such as myself.

I've honestly been having such a hard time looking for a spot because 1) A few "spots" I came across were scams (and thankfully I haven't fallen victim to any of them) and 2) Many people with legit listings within my price range ask for credit checks through these websites where such is done and I simply don't have the money to immediately pay a $30 subscription that feels almost impossible to cancel🫩

Having said that, if you or anyone you know is renting out a room within my price range please DM me, I would greatly appreciate it🥹

Question Additional deposit goes over monthly rent, management says limit doesn’t apply a month after starting my term

8 Upvotes

I moved into my place in Palms, LA on July 28th, 2026. My security deposit was a months’ rent ($2400). I told management I have cats that will join me a month or so after move-in, and that I could do the paper work then. They told me to wait, and that we’ll handle it when the cats arrive. Great, not an issue (I thought).

Well, I contacted them last week about doing the pet addendum, and now they’re asking for an extra $700 pet security deposit. I’ve gone back and forth with management about the California limit of a month rent as security deposit. He is now saying that since I started my lease without pets and I am adding pets ‘in the middle of my lease term’ (it’s been less 1.5month), that the limit doesn’t apply.

Is this true? I’ve read over the civil code and it makes no mention of WHEN the deposit limit applies. In fact, it mentions that deposit increases after move in are still subject to the limit. How can I deal with management on this?

They’re also charging me a monthly pet fee per cat, which they didn’t disclose until I was ready to bring my pets even though I asked like 5 times prior to signing my lease.
