Advice on Renting w/ an Eviction

[Mike Brody]

My brother is a US Army veteran who was evicted due to a government shutdown six years ago (he receives disability) and is finding it really hard to rent. Am now helping him financially, and even offering to pay 6 - 12 months rent in cash in advance + extra security having trouble finding a place in the LA area. 

Any recommendations on how to approach this with landlords or referrals for places in LA? He's quiet and works full-time, so this is a really good deal for someone willing to take on a little extra risk on paper.
