Not perfectly. It reflects patterns from tenant-reported experience and Openigloo’s signals. Response times can vary by issue type, staffing, and urgency, so confirm the process for your likely scenarios (repairs, utilities, access issues).

Ask who responds first for maintenance calls/emails, the typical timeline for non-urgent vs. urgent repairs, how they track work orders, and whether they provide updates while tasks are in progress.
