Does “low rent increases” mean the rent is guaranteed to stay flat?

No. The filter is an indicator, not a guarantee. Your unit’s lease type, renewal timing, and how rent is calculated can affect what happens next. Always confirm the renewal offer terms and the documented rules that apply to your specific unit.

What should I ask the building before signing a lease?

Ask what rent increases could apply at renewal, what documentation they can share, and how changes happen in practice (for example, what triggers an increase and whether any limits apply). Also confirm what’s included in the rent (heat/hot water, utilities) and the total move-in costs.

Are the signals on Openigloo official rent guidance?

They’re signals to help you start with context. Treat them as a starting point and verify details with the building or management using the specific unit’s lease and documented history.

Can I rely on this page if a building’s situation changed recently?

You should still check. Building eligibility and rent-related circumstances can change over time. Use Openigloo to shortlist, then confirm current rent rules, renewal practices, and any new requirements directly with the building.

How do I compare two nearby buildings with different rent-increase patterns?

Compare the renewal terms in writing, the rent calculation method for your unit, what costs you’ll actually pay monthly (including utilities), and any move-in fees. If you can, ask for the most recent renewal/offer details so you’re comparing the same lease stage.
