Room details
Furnished private bedroom with a private bathroom inside a shared house with four housemates. Available around November 16. All tours start virtually. No in-person visits without pre-screening for safety reasons.
The rent: $1,200 and the deposit: $1,200, both are non-negotiable. Utilities start at $50 per person (double for couples) and may vary based on usage. Lease is month-to-month. Parking is first-come, first-served. Garage parking available for $50/month.
Due to high inquiry volume, generic emails such as asking "Is this still available?" may not receive a response.
Rental Qualification Criteria:
Applicants must show verifiable income equal to at least 2x the monthly rent. This standard applies to all applicants.
Due to the shared housing setup, this property does not meet the inspection requirements of certain rental assistance programs. This is a structural limitation of the property, not a refusal based on source of income.
We're Not a Good Fit If:
You're constantly short on rent. Rent is due in full before the 1st of each month. No exceptions.
You're sensitive to any sound. This is a busy commercial zone near LAX (90304), so you'll hear some noise. Noise complaints are irrelevant. 
You're a short-tempered crybaby who's used to your parents/partner giving you attention right away. The manager is not your babysitter.
You leave pee on the toilet seat or bathroom floor. That's disgusting.
You monopolize the bathroom for an hour every day. This is a shared house, not a spa.
You leave leftover food or messes in the kitchen. We don't want roaches.
You throw parties with loud music or excessive drinking. This is not a frat house.
You rotate romantic partners every week. We don't want strangers constantly coming and going.
No pets, including service animals, due to severe allergies.
You're constantly getting high after work. Try going to the gym instead. It's healthier.
You cook with strong-smelling ingredients like dry or fermented fish, squid, fish sauce, iru, shrimp paste, masala, or surstromming. I'm Asian and I can live without fish sauce. 
You wear skimpy clothes showing your midsection or go shirtless in the common areas. This is not Tinder.
If you need your overprotective mommy and daddy to inspect the area, you already assume it's unsafe. Reality check: gangs and homelessness exist even in Beverly Hills. There's no guaranteed safety anywhere in LA. I've lived here five years with zero issues. If you're coming in with prejudice, this isn't the place for you.
