What does “high tenant retention” mean on Openigloo?

It’s a building-level signal based on how consistently tenants stay over time. It helps you focus on buildings where residents tend to renew, but you should still confirm current lease terms directly with the building.

How do I confirm the BM3 bus location for a specific unit?

Use the building page to check the exact address, then verify your route options and typical walk time to the nearest BM3 stop. Service patterns and foot traffic can change the experience.

Does high tenant retention guarantee that a unit will be right for me?

No. Retention is a helpful indicator, not a unit guarantee. Ask about current conditions (noise, maintenance response, upgrades) and review the specific lease terms for your apartment.

What should I ask the super or leasing office before applying?

Ask about renewal and rent-change expectations, maintenance turnaround, any upcoming building work, and how common issues are handled (heat/hot water, pests, laundry, and package delivery).

Are fees or deposits different for these buildings?

They can be. Even when you choose a building based on retention and transit access, confirm the full move-in costs (broker fee if applicable, deposit, and any building-imposed charges) before you commit.

Which Kensington buildings should I shortlist first?

Shortlist the buildings that match your priorities after you review renter feedback and the building’s current signals. Then compare the exact apartment details, lease obligations, and what’s included in the monthly cost.
