Frequently Asked Questions

What makes you any different than the big guys like Oakwood, the Palazzo, or Broadcast Center?

Well, if you put aside the huge price differences (we are at least $500 less), then what truly makes us different is that we listen to you, our guests.  Our staff, from the owner to sales, answers each and every email personally. Try us!  Send a question or comment to us (like: “Where has LA Furnished been all my life?”) and you will get a real response from an actual person (like: “In West Hollywood, thanks for asking.” ).

How else are you different?

That last answer didn’t do it for you? Okay, how about this: anyone can listen but we also take action. Sometimes it’s something like fixing a complaint reported by a tenant immediately. Sometimes it’s acting on the needs of our clientele – for example, we used to get occasional requests for a premium cable package so we figured that TV is a great way for our guests to relax in our apartments after a hard days work. So, we added a 42″ LCD HDTV to every new apartment and expanded everyone’s cable package to premium and offered it for free! (Actually I thought the key was TV and Beer but then the words “accountability” and “law” came to mind.)

So how much is the rent?

Nice, straight to business. A completely furnished one bedroom apartment rents for $2690 per month.

Do you require a security deposit?

Yes. $1000 -less than 1/2 the month’s rent. It is fully refundable at the end of your stay, providing there are no damages beyond normal wear and tear of the apartment.

Are there any hidden costs or charges for anything or any of the amenities?

None whatsoever. Everything is included: all utilities, high-speed internet, HBO/Showtime, local phone service, furniture, kitchen/bath sets, and all the comforts of home. Oh, taxes are included too! People always wonder what we are going to tack on additional charges to, so I just keep repeating that there are no hidden fees and sometimes I wake up screaming “all inclusive!” but only my neighbors hear that.

What is the maximum number of people that can stay?

Two adults and one small child. Two adults live very comfortably in our 800 sq ft units and most units are furnished with a queen size fold out couch as a second bed.

What is the minimum stay?

A 30 day stay is our minimum.

Do you allow pets?

Sometimes, we may allow the cute, well-trained, adorable ones that are like family.

How do I proceed in renting a unit?

Just fill out the “Make a Reservation Inquiry” form or give us a call at 323-788-4483. A deposit of $500, which is the holding fee, and also 1/2 of the security deposit will be required ahead of time to secure your stay with us.

What forms of payment do you accept?

We accept corporate checks, cashiers checks, cash, postal/money orders.  After your first month, we will accept personal and business checks. We will also submit any paperwork your company needs.

How do you make money?

Whoa now! We make money off of the small margin we have (in between operation costs, actual rent, the furnishings we provide, the utilities, etc.) and this is only succesful through volume, or we would go out of business. The bottom line is that we are not trying to maintain huge offices, a big staff, or spend a fortune on marketing, as these costs would end up being passed on to you. At this time, we don’t even take credit cards so we can keep the rent low and save you the $70 recoup.
