I'm currently trying to find a 1bd apartment for no more then $1,000 in Koreatown or anywhere close to Wilshire Blvd in Los Angeles, CA however I feel like I am repeadly discriminated against. I'm Latino and I have a job that pays $30,000 (which is through W-2) and make an average bonus per month of $1,250 (which is 1099....about $15,000 extra/yr)...since I'm a mortgage consultant assistant and I get paid extra per file that gets funded.
I have only one year's worth of credit and I have no collections, no late payments, nothing that would otherwise be bad on my credit report. CAN ANYONE HELP ME...I want to move into an apartment with my cat.
---I feel like I am discriminated against because I have several Korean friends who have no jobs, have no credit history and get apartments because of co-signers yet despite the fact that i have a good paying job, I have 1yr worht of credit with no derog + told them that my mother would co-sign and even yet I would 2x my security deposit they ref

Look north to eagal rock or go to the east as in east LA. or south gleandale.
Yea I am sure you are being discriminated against, Do not feel to bad I get the same from the Latinos also. Does not make it right but a good lesson to learn so we do not pass it on.
Good luck

That's the going rate and requirements for apts in Koreatown. It's matter of supply and demand and in regards to your deposit it's probably due to you credit history. 1 year credit history is nothing to brag about. Besides your budget should be more like $1,200 and up for a decent 1 bedroom apt. in Koreatown.

If you think that you are being discrimminated against, either consult with an attorney, or file a complaint with the city.
