I’m moving to LA to work in the film industry. I need to find an area to live where it is safe and rent is reasonable.
I don’t know anything about life in LA so any advice is welcome.
Thanks!
Hehe, no job yet, trying out my luck for about a year.
I’m looking for a studio or 1bdrm, I’m hoping for $600 (what I pay now) but don’t expect that. I dont want roommates. Where is the ideal place to stay for some trying to break into the business. Near UCLA?
Probably the best mix of safety and reasonable rent (for LA, so still expensive) are Glendale, Burbank, and Culver City/Palms. You can expect to pay on the low end, $1200 for a decent 1 bedroom in an OK area, nothing too great, and $900 for a single. You’ll want to check out the specific neighborhood, as not every neighborhood may be acceptable to you. Westwood (near UCLA) is one of the most expensive areas in LA, besides being a very wealthy area, there is tons of demand for apartments due to UCLA, so you can expect to pay quite a bit more in Westwood. The entertainment industry is all over LA, from Santa Monica to Pasadena, so people live all over. Many industry people live in the valley because that’s all they can afford.
You need a car in LA, unless you can work it out that you live very close to your job and on a bus line, our public transportation is not good. But if you are in the film industry, a car is likely absolutely necessary more than for other jobs. You really want to live near your job, traffic is horrible. What should be a 20 minute commute can easily turn into an hour for no apparent reason.
If you don’t have a job, you can expect it may take at least 4 months to find a job, more if you’re looking in the film industry, as they have had massive layoffs and those laid-off will be the first to be hired back. Even top production companies have less assistants, readers, etc, and believe me, they can afford to hire more people back, but this is an opportunity to save money without losing face. Layoffs used to be embarrassing for companies, a sign of failure, but not anymore, it’s the thing to do. Smart business. Word is there are going to be some more layoffs at major studios coming up soon. Some people in LA, especially in the entertainment industry, have been looking for a job for over a year, and they have lots of experience. So if you can get a job before actually moving out here, that would be great.

and I need to stay in Chicago for another 3 months. So do you have advices except for craigslist? Thanks!
You can ask your landlord. Sometimes they let you go on a 3 month lease, or a month to month for more money, sometimes up to like $100 more a month. BUT you wouldn’t have to move and moving costs and hassle would be more than that. Ask.. They might be happy that you are willing to stay pay more money and give them more time to find another tenant. 
But to answer your question yes there are still places that rent month to month for…. more money.
GIVE YOUR NOTICE that you will not be renewing your lease as of…XX-XX-XXXX but ask instead for a month to month for three months after that.
i do have a normal house 3 bed rooms 1 and 1/2 bathroom, however if i want to change my house into an apartment which divide my house to two seperate apartments that allow two family or individuals to live on it. is it legal to do this?
and is it legal to use some space from my backyard as well to build a house/apartments on it?
You will have to check with your local laws to decide what is required. Most areas have minimum standards for plumbing and such that you would be required to retrofit into the house to convert it to apartments. The same goes with subdividing your backyard. You will probably have to get this approved with the county and/or local municipality.

im moving to l.a this winter and i want to know what areas are cheap as far as renting apartments.
Going online to find the cheapest apartments is not gonna work. The cheaper a place, the less likely they will take the time to advertise on any website. And most who rent in cheap areas are not online looking for a place to live.
And if you want the cheapest monthly rates, then your surroundings will reflect that. Here are some nasty areas in the SGV.
-El Monte, especially south of the 10 freeway along Durfee Ave or Santa Anita Ave. Or along Valley Blvd and Baldwin Ave.
-Baldwin Park, any place along the freeway will be cheap, and so is the value of human life.
-Basset(all of it)
-Valinda(all of it)
-La Puente(most of it)
There are many cheap/nasty areas in the following cities. It is best if you take a ride through the areas to see for yourself because many places go from bad to good within a few blocks.
-Parts of Azusa are very cheap.
-Parts of Duarte are cheap
-Parts of West Covina are dangerous and cheap, especially along the freeway.
-Parts of Covina are very ghetto, oh I mean inexpensive.
-Parts of Pasadena are cheap and not worth the risk.
