Not necessarily. Tenant retention is about staying behavior, not a regulatory status. Check the lease paperwork and ask management about the applicable rent rules for your unit.

Confirm the exact lease terms (renewal and notice requirements), the unit condition at move-in, maintenance response expectations, and any building policies you rely on day-to-day. If something is unclear in Q&A, ask for specifics.

You can use the Q&A and building-level signals as a starting point, but you should still ask how requests are logged and the typical timelines for repairs. Tenant retention can correlate with service quality, but experiences vary.
