LA Housing

Hey All,

My roommate and I (both 21 years old) are interning in LA this summer from June 8th-August 9th. We are looking for 1 additional roommate (ASAP) as we are signing the rental agreement.

Insight into the property:

Dates: June 8th-August 9th (9 weeks)

Rent: $1,333/month WITH UTILTIES INCLUDED (great deal for LA compared to alternatives)

Layout: 3 bedroom, 2 full bathrooms, kitchen, living spaces

Value: >2M$ house

Extra: House cleaners come biweekly (you don't have to pay), backyard with grill/chairs/spacious grass. Must be okay with 2 cats (owners are leaving the cats with us).

Proximity: 5 min walk to the bus that runs along Wilshire BLVD (connects Santa Monica to LA)

Address: One of the houses surrounding Fairburn Avenue Elementary School (not disclosing exact address for privacy)

If this interests you, please reach out ASAP (either by comment or DM). Ideally, we'll hold a phone call/zoom call this weekend to onboard you.

It looks like you're offering a great summer housing opportunity in LA! Based on the most helpful WSO content, here are some tips to attract a potential roommate quickly:

  1. Highlight the Value: Emphasize the competitive rent ($1,333/month with utilities included) and the perks like biweekly house cleaning, a backyard with a grill, and proximity to public transport along Wilshire Blvd.

  2. Target Audience: Since you're both 21 and interning, aim for other young professionals or interns who might be in a similar situation.

  3. Pet-Friendly Note: Mentioning the cats is crucial, as it ensures you're upfront about the living conditions.

  4. Proximity to Key Areas: The location near Fairburn Avenue Elementary School and the bus line connecting Santa Monica to LA is a strong selling point. Highlight how convenient this is for commuting.

  5. Urgency: Your timeline is tight, so stress the need for quick responses and the planned phone/Zoom call this weekend.

If you post this on platforms like WSO, LinkedIn, or even local Facebook housing groups, you should be able to find a roommate quickly. Good luck!
