Openigloo groups building signals and renter-first details in one place, including information tied to rated buildings and tenant Q&A. Use it to narrow options, then confirm the current facts with building management.

Ask how heating and hot water are maintained, what upgrades (if any) have been done, and what the building’s process is for repairs. Also verify any unit-specific conditions you care about (noise, airflow, bathroom/kitchen plumbing, and storage).

Don’t focus on rent alone. Review what you’ll pay at move-in (deposit and any other required fees) and what utilities are included vs. billed separately, since total monthly cost can differ by unit.
