On my recent visit to the Los Angeles City East Valley Animal Shelter I learned quite a bit from their meeting on Pets in Rental Housing. Furry friends in a rental can be an area of tension between tenants and landlords, but it doesn’t have to be! Landlords can quickly fill vacancies and gain a little extra income from pet fees, while the responsible pet owners get to live happily with their companions. It’s a win-win situation. Here's how you can land your dream apartment, and bring your dog or cat along!


  1. Provide your prospective landlord with a resume for your pet (see example below). Write a nice cover letter, and tag on a letter of recommendation from your neighbors or previous landlords as…

Wandered into this place by chance last weekend while I was getting a prescription filled at the CVS nextdoor. Had the Quinoa taco salad and it was surprisingly delicious.  I'm a meat eater, so Vegan, Gluten Free & Vegetarian food doesn't generally appeal to me, but this place has great food, can't deny that, gotta call a spade a spade.  Baked goods looked great too (although I'm trying to stay away from those).  I liked the interior decorum too, understated/hip - very silverlake.  Writing this blog post is making me hungry...think I might head over for lunch...
