What's Hot on RentedSpaces

We met insiders in Laguna Beach and Laurel Canyon, learned about an apartment fire in Houston and saw what musicians do when they're not performing on Oklahoma City.

Here's what else happened on RentedSpaces this week:

• Dog abuse caught on video twice in the same Manhattan public housing facility.

• In happier news, some high-flying renters can trade in their apartment for a permanent residence aboard a luxury cruise ship for $3 to $26 mil.

• Host a dinner party with IKEA supplied food for $40 - but warning, you must like salted fish.

• This precarious California waterfront rental apartment building - literally sliding into the Pacific - will make you grateful for you're in a small, dark, but safe, apartment.
