Students Show Off Their Unsafe LA Apartment That Still Costs $2,520 A Month

According to Bored Panda, the pair had come in from out of state and never got to see their apartment before they started renting because it was a last minute replacement after their housing arrangements fell through.

And as we can see, it wasn't one that gave them a lot of space as a recess had to be cut into the bathroom door to make room for the toilet.

Similarly, the kitchen was barely large enough to accommodate one person, but somehow came with a disproportionately big fridge. As a result, it's not actually possible to open the door more than halfway.

And that's because some facets of the apartment are downright unsafe.

As we can see, the wall in the bathroom has a barely-covered hole in the wall that is not only rotting, but confirmed in a follow-up video to be full of hazardous mold.

Worse yet, another follow-up showed that the apartment's smoke alarm is not only non-functional, but hanging from the ceiling by a wire.

As we can see here, this neighborhood is apparently known for its regular police raids, which seem like they can happen at any time of day.

So while it was already strange that there's a sliding door that opens up to a motel balcony next to their front door, the apparent crime problems likely don't make that fact any more comfortable to live with.

Some reported paying that much for a three-bedroom apartment in Echo Park, others in Westwood and Hermosa Beach reported paying far less for much better places.

But one stroke of good luck that these women have experienced is that the attention their TikTok garnered put them in a position where they could demand some intervention from maintenance workers.

And not only does the questionable legality of their apartment's condition mean that it's now being renovated, but it also means they can stay at a nice hotel at their landlord's expense while that occurs.

At least they've got that going for them.
