'Soulless' gray vinyl floors have infested L.A.’s rental market — and tenants hate them

Sarah Warner’s hopes were high as she approached the two-bedroom bungalow up for rent in Echo Park. The price was reasonable, the location was great, and the place had plenty of curb appeal.

Meanwhile Los Angeles city and county leaders continue to do the hard but effective work of reaching

Real estate commission rules are about to change. Here's how it could affect home buying

For decades, if you wanted a real estate agent to help you buy or sell a home, the model was static. At the close of escrow, the seller typically used their proceeds to pay a 5% to 6% commission, with half going toward their agent’s brokerage and half going to the buyer agent’s brokerage. Now,
