<human>: The long version: My husband received a raise offer that requires us to move from Jonesboro-Freaking-Arkansas to Los Angeles, CA. After doing a ton of math, we were able to determined that with the new paycheck, we can afford $1800 max for rent. I was looking for a new place last week when I found a great place in Tarzana for $1500. Due to the landlady being a flaky, bankrupt person, I'm now out of an agreement we had to move in July 13th.

Now that I'm looking for places again, I keep beating my head against a wall of scam homes and OWN A PLACE FOR ONLY $??? A MONTH ads. I'm stressing out trying to find a place to live for my family (and 3 cats and 2 budgies). Craigslist is not helpful, and the LA Times Classifieds online is such a pain in the ass to navigate (powered by Apartments.com or some crap). Does anyone know where I can find anything?

Can you summarize the given text in a few sentences?
<bot>: Landlady screwed me out of my new apartment, and I have to find a $1800 a month rent 2-3 bedroom home/apartment that allows 3 cats in less than a month. Help! D:
