I would like to rent a rm when I get there. How is the bus system there? Can I get around by bus or a metro train when I get out there?

A lot of people stay at the Oakwood Apartments which have furnished places in a couple areas of town. (There are other furnished places too.) They're not super cheap, but they're nice and very safe.
Public transportation isn't great in L.A. but it's getting better. They are gradually expanding the metro. Lots of people ride the bus but it can be a pain, depending on where you need to go and how fast.
If you know beforehand whether you want to live/work on the Westside or the Valley, that will help you make your decisions. Traffic is a bear and you probably don't want to do a commute (bus or car) "over the hill" between the two areas if you don't have to.

Try: http://losangeles.craigslist.org/ -- I'd suggest renting before you get there but don't put 100% efforts into craigslist.org, until you arrive there, you can pay rent, if they let you. I'm certain you can get around by bus or metro train when you get out there -- I'm not sure what it's called, but since L.A. is huge, public transit HAS TO BE THERE. Hope this helps.

When you say LA you must be more specific. Do you mean Westwood, Hollywood Long Beach ?. Do you mean Los Angeles City or Los Angeles County. Go On Rent.com and look.
