Reinventing the Los Angeles Renter Experience

For a long time, hunting for an apartment in LA meant wading through cryptic yard signs, inscrutable classifieds and frustrating games of phone tag. To find a place in LA, a renter has to scan yard signs, scour Craigslist, stop by leasing offices and search a bevy of websites big and small. No single source shows everything on the market all at once, not even close.

Add in the challenge of tracking down landlords by phone, enduring the often-opaque application process and racing fellow renters to be first in line, finding an apartment can become a disappointing, time-consuming ordeal. It is the frustration of many LA renters especially as rents rise and vacancy rates fall.

Thousands of renters in the Bay Area, Seattle, and now Los Angeles can easily find their dream homes through a simple, renter-friendly experience online at no cost. It’s a better and more efficient alternative to standard listing sites. Renters on Onerent can visit any of our properties on-demand, at no cost. While at the showing, you can qualify to rent the place through our mobile app designed to give you a swift and hassle-free application.

Here’s how your experience with Onerent is much better than the standard.

Fair Applicant Screening with equal Opportunity

Despite Federal, State, and Local laws prohibiting housing discrimination based on race, color, sex, national origin, ancestry, mental disability, physical disability (HIV & AIDS included), familial status (children), marital Status, age, sexual orientation, source of income, student status, and other arbitrary reasons, a chart based on a U.S Department of Housing and Urban Development study shows a pattern of discrimination against minorities.

Onerent gives every applicant equal opportunity to qualify without discrimination based on federal, state, and local laws.

Any renter can qualify online with a credit check, background check, employment and income verification. A fair housing policy is in place and the screening process follows guidelines of state and federal fair housing laws.

Fair Rental Pricing

One of the pressing concerns of Los Angeles City is its rising homeless population. According to Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority, there are nearly 34,189 homeless people in the city of Los Angeles and the number is growing.

Even median income Los Angeles renters aren’t overjoyed. According to the Renter Survey from Apartment List, Los Angeles has a C+ renter satisfaction score.

Affordability, jobs and safety were key issues that lowered the score. Other contributing factors were commute time, school quality, and pet friendliness. Overall, Los Angeles earned lower scores than many cities, ranking 36th out of the 50 largest US cities. Within California, Los Angeles earned a lower score than San Diego (A-) and San Francisco (B+), but higher scores than San Jose (C), Sacramento (C) and Oakland (D).
