i've been trying to find a new apartment lately, and i'm disgusted at how high prices have gotten, for such shitty places. it's seriously ridiculous. i've literally seen places advertised that say "bursting with charm" and look like complete pieces of shit.
i decided to place some ads of my own.. hopefully someone will have a sense of humor about it. or throw me in jail

slavish, it's all the same on westsiderentals unfortunately. the rental market is the rental market. i have a password for westside at the moment.
dream on indeed
know what i'm sayin' dawg? |

floop- I would suggest that you use the anonymous email that craigslist provides.
also, this might seem obvious, but west side rentals is actually worth shelling out for. they run all those bogus ads in the paper, but their listing service is actually legit, and the only way I could have found my apartment. btw, dream on if you think you're going to find something in venice or santa monica. |

I got quite lucky with this flat through a private landlord, it's huge and we only pay £200pcm each inclusive of bills, the area is crappy but crappy areas sometimes lead to comedy moments.
The last place I lived was expensive one bedroomed flat that was £400pcm excluding bills on the worst road in a very bohemian area, I fucking loved that flat though.

London is pretty damn fucked up in terms of rental prices - especially for what you get. One of the main reasons I somehow landed up in the north. A friend of mine had the ceiling collapse on her while she was sleeping thanks to her arsehole ruthless moneygrabbing landlord - she now lives in a squat - infinitely safer and way cheaper.

to find a decent 1br 1 ba in my area you'd be lucky to find one for under 1400. if you want something actually nice, you're looking at more like 15 1600.
there was an article recently in LA weekly about how fucked rent prices are here. it's not Manhattan bad, but almost

Darn, I was all over the zen garden. I could do my yoga there :( Floop you bastard, why did you have to get rid of the zen garden of all things. It's a garden of ZEN. 
You made me crack up so bad reading this. Just wondering how much is a one bedroom/one bath in LA? It's darn steep here, but I am guessing it's steeper there. |

i thought i would share some of the funny responses i got for these ads (sorry to waste your time):
Hi there:
I'm very interested in the apartment that you posted
on CL -- 1 br, $1,400, light, breezy. I notice it's
on fire, which is a negative, but given the tight
rental market in Santa Monica, I still might be
willing to consider it. Can you tell me about the
parking situation, laundry facilities, and the size of
the deposit?
Thanks,
-- Phil --

I know this is probably a joke, but do you actually own that property? I am a film student looking for a location like that to shoot for 3-5 hours one day. Please let me know if that is available.
Thanks,

this looks better than some of the shit holes I've seen lately, and the price seems reasonable...

I'll take it

Hey,
where is this apt located?

Hello,
I saw your listing on Craig's List for an apartment for Santa Monica
but I'm not sure if it's for real (thepicture and all). Can you please
inform? If so, what part of SM is it in?
Thank you.
------------------------------
Hey, just wanted to say that I busted out laughing at your craigslist apt. posts tonight. So spot on, very funny.
Nice job.

Hello,
I'm interested in the Venice guest house you've listed on craigslist (as long as it's not the one pictured!). My phone at work is xxxxx. Home phone is xxxxx.
Hope to hear from you.

I need someone to share an apartment floop. Fancy it? We could plan our posts together. Imagine how funny we would be then.

floop, as you probably know, there is such a thing as
real estate parlance. It is important to learn how to
crack the code! To wit:
charm = a space so cramped, it's tighter than a rat's ass
a handyman's dream = you will spend your last dollar trying to fixing this perpetually leaking dump
sportsman's paradise = hungry packs of stray dogs roam the neighborhood and will defecate on your scrawny lawn
Seriously, any chance you can buy? Even if it's not your
ideal place, home ownership has many financial
advantages, starting with the annual tax writeoff.
