It’s a tenant-protection category that flags buildings where certain rent-increase and non-renewal circumstances are restricted. Exact terms can vary, so you should confirm how the protections apply to the specific lease you’re offered.

Openigloo shows 522+ eligible buildings matching this filter right now.

They can depend on the building’s situation and the specific lease terms offered for an individual unit. Use the filter to narrow, then ask the leasing office to explain what will apply to your tenancy.

Ask for the full rent schedule, how increases are handled, renewal terms, and what documentation is required. Also confirm any non-rent charges (fees, deposits) and the utility/payment responsibilities for that unit.

Yes. The filter is about tenant protections, not affordability. You’ll still want to confirm the total monthly cost and upfront move-in expenses (deposit, any broker or processing fees, and utilities).

Openigloo combines renter reviews, open-data signals, and tenant Q&A so you can compare buildings more consistently. Use those signals to ask better questions, but verify everything with the building directly.

You should treat Openigloo as a starting point. Policies and building-specific handling can change, so confirm the current terms with management and request any lease documents in writing.
