No. The asking rent is only part of your monthly cost. You should confirm the full amount due (broker fee, deposit, utilities, and any required charges) for the specific unit you want.

Verify unit rent and lease terms (including any renewal language), total upfront costs, utilities included vs. separate, and the building’s policies that affect move-in and day-to-day use.

You can compare building details, read tenant Q&A and reviews, and use open-data signals where available. Then you should confirm any key details (rent, rules, fees, and availability) directly with the leasing office.

Use the building details to find the relevant questions to ask, then contact the leasing team for the specific unit. Ask about the total monthly cost, lease terms, utilities, and any building-specific rules.
