Does “near the 5 train” guarantee an exact commute time?

No. The filter is meant to surface buildings close to the 5 train corridor, but commute time depends on the exact station, walking route, and your transfer pattern. Verify the route from the specific building address to your destination.

What should I ask the landlord or managing agent before signing?

Ask how renewals are handled under good cause, what documentation they provide, what fees apply at renewal or move-in, and whether there are any building practices that could affect your lease terms.

Are there limits or fees tied to good cause protections?

Good cause is about tenant protections, not a fee waiver. You still need to confirm all costs tied to renting the unit (move-in charges, broker fee if applicable, deposits) and any building policies that apply.
