I remember, when I was renting, I drove around and saw a couple moving! I asked for their Landlord information! In a week, I got the apartment! Thanks for being so informative for new renters or people relocating! Welcome to my town! There is so much to see!
@@kaileyaston2836 From Holland and it really is different and harder. But everything will be alright and aslong as we believe it we will end up living in LA.
Just got my new apartment in my best area here in LA with good rate.Really love it so much. Thank you! .I can refer you to the agent that helped me got mine if you interested.
I love your budget was initially $1000 because it’s nice to finally relate to an apartment hunter not having an insane budget. My budget was $900 or less but I’m in Chicago and was not only looking downtown, and I was sticking to my budget. I had too. By luck, a family friend had a building with a 2 bedroom for $900 and a bonus room that worked out. Apartment hunting is just as stressful as house hunting. 😫
What you said is true. We were going around La Crescenta for apartment viewings when we came across this apartment we’re living in right now. There was not even a vacancy sign outside, just the name of the property management company and their ofc number. I just felt compelled to call the number to check, and turns out they did have an apartment available! The manager let us tour the apartment right away since there were construction people doing some work anyway and it was open. We fell in love with the place as soon as we saw it! It had big windows so lots of natural light, lots of storage (so many linen cabinets!) and it came with 2 parking slots. No units above and below us, we have fantastic views of the mountains, and the neighborhood is very quiet. The previous tenant lived here for 20yrs - that’s already a good indication that the place is nice. We really lucked out on this one! ☺️ So yes, don’t just rely on the apps, just drive around the neighborhood, you will find more that way. 😊
Thank you so much for sharing your experience. There are so many gems that aren’t listed in the online apps. I am so happy you found the perfect place by calling the number to check!
Good analysis! And tips! My husband and I have looked for apartments in different parts of LA 3 times in the last 4 years. And whoa, it’s a crazy ride!
Really, thanks for this video, u are so kind and so good on explaining how the things really are, im moving to la next month and i hope everything will be fine
You had put letter of recommendations as part of the documents needed. This is my first time hearing about a letter of recommendation for an apartment. I have never rent/lease before so I do not have a landlord to write me a letter of recommendation.
I’m moving out there from Houston, TX. The cost of living is doubled but I’m going for my job. I’ll definitely be utilizing your tips since I’m going in blind-sided. 😩
@@georgekelly5987 I ended up staying in Houston and taking a smaller raise and thank god I did! With inflation, rent increases etc. I see my money here. Now everyone is flocking here.
I been living in LA for 8yrs and I work as a nurse and I live in a good area, but truthfully the rent is high.. and the crime is only getting worse I’m relocating to another state, every time I hear someone wants to live in LA I tell them the truth, the homelessness is everywhere and crime is crazy and the traffic is no joke the gas and rent has only got worse.. not worth it and people just throw money away to rent it’s just not worth it. Truthfully it’s not what it seems at all.
I lived 2 blocks away from the good Sam hospital in DTLA and even went to the blm riots and walk everywhere at all hours of the night, I paid 850$ utilities included for my studio apartment and I was. The happiest I’ve ever been!!! But I moved in with my bf and honestly regret it.
You must live smack dead in downtown LA is which standard for EVERY downtown every of each US state. Giving this opinion for such a small area in LA county bothers me so much. Go outside of what you guys think LA only consists of.
It sucks that applications are $30 a pop. I wish managers would say, "We already got 10 applications and one of them has a higher income so we'll choose them. Don't waste your money".
Thank you so much for this video! Me and my boyfriend are trying to move out of my moms house next year and I’m really excited but nervous and all the emotions lmao 😂🥰☺️I’ve been searching on Zillow but I’m definitely going to download some of those apps you show! This video was super helpful love! (I’m from LA btw 🙌🏽💖)
I will say as your budget goes up the inventory does too. It's been ridiculous. I'm actually looking to move now because my current place has raised my rent 5 times in the 7 years I lived here and the past 2 consecutively since it was allowed again so now I actually need to consider finding a better place. I've been out here for over a decade now so it's par for the course, but man do I miss those 2010 prices.

I used to live in Los Angeles, CA decades ago. When I graduated from high school, there were apartments available from $300 to $500 a month. But I still couldn't afford the rent if I had a full time minimum wage job. I lived with my parents for several years and then I joined the U.S. Army. Now, you'd be lucky to live anywhere in Los Angeles for $1000 a month---maybe in downtown or in a neighborhood where you have to dodge bullets on your way home from work. There are places where they offer a dorm room and a shared bathroom for $500 to $800 a month. The landlords can pretty much charge whatever they want because there's a housing shortage and politicians like Gavin Newsom will make sure it stays that way with all the strict regulations builders are subjected to before they build new apartments and houses in California.
I have a one bedroom in Silver Lake I pay $1200 for. It has one parking spot. I don’t think anybody else can get one though, I’ve lived in it for 22 years
I asked a landlord in Silver Lake for their 2 bedrooms. It was $3,800 five years ago. I laughed and thought that he was joking with me. He said that it was a real price and he did not try to play. I have never visited Silver Lake again since then. I could not afford them.

Great tips! I’m moving to LA in June and am looking for an apt. I was wondering if u know if places would let someone sign a lease with a guarantor? I just graduated college and don’t start working til mid June so I don’t have paystubs or anything.
@@ItsTylerChanel also if I’m trying to move in June do u know generally how early people would let me view a place and sign a lease (for example - view apt and sign lease in beginning of may for June 1 lease start)
Wow This is Amazing,thanks for giving out this information. I'm from Nigeria, I'm planning moving to LA. I really do not have anyone to stay with over there. Can i get a job with accomodation? as said in this video, or if the are other things you will advice me to do. I really need this. Do not have enough fund yet to move to LA. Please,i need your reply.
i’m 13 and i am terrified for moving because of how much the cost will go up i want to be a disney animator but i feel like the cost will be too expensive. how much is the rent per year normally? also what’s your job and what do they pay??
Hey I’m a starbucks shift leader getting paid 20/hr and I cannot even afford a shitty roach infested 175 sq ft apartment in LA where I was born and raised Bc of “influencers “
I’m planning to move to LA from out of state! I have looked for apartments on some of the sites but it’s so expensive. I’m moving without a car so I want to be close to stuff so that I’m able to walk. Do you have any advice?
I believe it was $1200 when I first moved in back in 2018, then it increased to $1400 in 2019 and more it’s $1650 because of inflation and my husband living here now.

I live in Boston and have been planning to relocate to LA for about a year now to build out my podcast and coaching business. I'd like to build my network in LA to help enhance my podcast and get guests on that are in entertainment. I'm interested to hear your opinion on whether it's worth the move to LA for this reason?
I think you can make some really good connections if you live here, but you can also make good connections if you do frequent work trips here! For example, I have a hair stylists based in Ohio, where the cost of living is much lower. But she comes to LA each quarter to connect with models and UA-camrs and people in the entertainment industry. That way she can build her network without the high price tag
@@ItsTylerChanel Wow, thanks for the insight. I also have a friend who does something similar. She's a closet organizer for celebrities and travels back and forth between NYC and LA.
I was there for 9 months in Long Beach at 1900 ocean. The rent got higher when they renovated and new management took over. So now I’m in Texas. And I don’t have a car but I miss living on the beach. It was nice while it lasted. The only thing I hate about California is that the homes are old and when they renovate it cost so much. And the taxes… and not a lot of elevator buildings. I miss my palm trees 🌴 🌴🌴🌴 I guess I’ll always be California dreaming. ☺️ I learned a long time that California is not the only place to try and make it. It’s too crowded and too competitive and I don’t want to be an actress anymore. I never wanted to be a starving artist. I left that dream alone 20 years ago lol. Best decking made since I don’t want to be in the spotlight.
awesome video so many tips. Im not sure what to do this is my first time leaving home and will be my first apartment how do I get letters of recommendation and etc
Great info, one thing though, can you recommend some renters insurance for college students? As well as how to commute using public transport for foreigners in LA ?
I have State Farm and they are about $10/month. I think they are pretty good. I don’t know much about public transit in Cali, so I unfortunately can’t help too much with that. I know LA doesn’t have great options but there is a subway and lots of buses.
I know I’m really young but I have my mind set on the future I’m from the Caribbean and wanna move America when I’m 18 but looking at the apartments they are way to expensive but this really help tho tysm!🤧😀
I’m glad this was helpful! I’d recommend looking at cities in the USA that are more affordable like Las Vegas (that’s where I’m originally from) or Austin! People say Austin’s culture is similar to LA
I think it depends on the apartment. I would say be ready for a credit check just in case. I remember doing a background check, but I don't remember if my apartment ran credit or not.
Do you know if the apartments in LA work with people moving out of state with no job reference? What do you show for proof of income or qualifying for an apartment. I hope you get back with me 😊
Just got my new apartment here in Los Angeles also . I'm so happy i really love it and I'm glad. I can refer you to the agent that helped me got mine if you're interested

I live in Long Beach, Fontana, and Yucaipa… I don’t want to live with anyone. Lol. People pay so much money to roommate in Cali when they can live alone. I don’t want to live with anyone and their habits and not being clean.
Hi! I'm looking to live short-term in LA for a summer internship if anyone knows any furnished apartment complexes I would appreciate the help🥺🥺under 1200!
1200? Damn, plus car payments, gas, groceries, clothes, utilities and then some spare for going out? No wonder americans work 3 jobs..my apartment is 400euros,

Do landlords check your income before or after taxes? Because I make more before taxes once they take out the taxes it is less.

I have State Farm and they are about $10/month. I think they are pretty good. I don’t know much about public transit in Cali, so I unfortunately can’t help too much with that. I know LA doesn’t have great options but there is a subway and lots of buses.
For public transit it’s best to live in Downtown LA or Westlake MacArthur Park.
Do you still have the list because I think we have the same budget lol
I know I’m really young but I have my mind set on the future I’m from the Caribbean and wanna move America when I’m 18 but looking at the apartments they are way to expensive but this really help tho tysm!🤧😀
I’m glad this was helpful! I’d recommend looking at cities in the USA that are more affordable like Las Vegas (that’s where I’m originally from) or Austin! People say Austin’s culture is similar to LA
@@ItsTylerChanel what brought you to la?
I enjoyed your video. 😄 How are you liking L.A. ?
I love LA!!! Especially the food lol
@@ItsTylerChanel are you still in the same place you originally got? How’re you liking la?
How long took u to find a place?
Hi! did you have a job there before moving
Hi! Great question! Yes, my job in Vegas transferred me to the Los Angeles branch.
People from LA have to look for cheap apartments because everyone else is moving into LA
You are great 🥰🥰🥰
Thank you for the kind words 💚
You made the right choice. Roomates are horrible
how are you able to pay for your apartment? I’m hoping to move to LA When I’m older 🥰
I work a 9-5 job so I have consistent income to pay for the apartment ☺️ I hope you can move here one day
The struggle real!!
True!!! 😅😩
Did you have to do a credit check? I'm really trying not to do that.
I think it depends on the apartment. I would say be ready for a credit check just in case. I remember doing a background check, but I don't remember if my apartment ran credit or not.
Yes ! I had a 790 ! Credit score and 3 years of stable income with every single physical paycheck stubs I’ve ever gotten and I still got denied.
@@zairavega420 that’s crazyyyyyy! I got approved with a lower credit score, God is good. I think it depends on the apartment management.
Great tips! What if you have excellent credit, but no job?
Hi! Unfortunately I’m not sure about this. I think it depends on the apartment.
I would suggest asking the leasing desk or the landlord before viewing the property
My budget for rent is 1600 but I cant find anything good thats not in someones backyard
Omg so true! My unit is in someone’s backyard
Do you know if the apartments in LA work with people moving out of state with no job reference? What do you show for proof of income or qualifying for an apartment. I hope you get back with me
😊
Hi!! Unfortunately I’m not sure. I think you might have to show bank statements to show you have the funds.
Wow you got your current apartment for $1200? That’s a deal !
Yes!! It was a great deal for all of the amenities! 💚💚💚💚
Just got my new apartment here in Los Angeles also . I'm so happy i really love it and I'm glad. I can refer you to the agent that helped me got mine if you're interested

How much is rent if you rent with a roommate?
It depends! But I’d say about $800
I want to move from L.A to Vegas, cheaper there and bigger space even a house for the same price an apt here
I’m still shocked that Vegas prices have skyrocketed! It really is the same price now
True I'm from Vegas and will be moving back to L.A in March. At least L.A has the pay scale and Vegas don't be paying.

Hi I'm actually currently on the hunt for an apartment in LA. I'm moving from Texas and could use any help available. How do you like the area you live in?
@@brittneycunningham1411 did you ever make the move from Texas?
@@georgekelly5987 I spent a week out there looking for an apartment but nothing felt right. Honestly being there looking to become a resident didn't feel as good as just being a tourist. I honestly felt like I wasn't going to find the peace that I was looking for in my life there at that time .
can anyone help me out i need to move out in the next 3 months and haven’t ever lived on my own been with family

What apartement in California is 1,200 let me know please lol
Lol! My rent has gone up to $1500 since filming this
@@ItsTylerChanel do you mind sharing the area. I’m reading servers areas are sketchy, I’m from NY, so I’m used to weird but would love some area recommendations.
Never gonna find that
I live in Long Beach, Fontana, and Yucaipa… I don’t want to live with anyone. Lol. People pay so much money to roommate in Cali when they can live alone. I don’t want to live with anyone and their habits and not being clean.
Hello!
Do you need a roommate?
Let me know...I will be attending LATTC...and working in DTLA!
Long Beach is expensive :( unless you want to live in a pretty bad neighborhood
