What does “high tenant retention” mean on this Kensington buildings page?

It means the building shows signals that tenants tend to stay rather than moving out quickly. Use it as a starting point, then verify the current process with the building directly and with tenant Q&A.

Are these buildings currently showing apartments for rent on Openigloo?

This page is focused on the Kensington neighborhood plus the high-retention filter. Availability can vary by building, so open a specific building page to see which apartments are currently advertised.

Does high retention mean the building has no problems?

No. Retention can reflect stability, but the only way to know what you’ll experience is to review tenant reports and ask targeted questions about maintenance response, noise, and day-to-day management practices.

How should I use tenant retention when comparing multiple buildings?

Treat it like a shortlist tool. Cross-check retention with unit-level factors (layout, exposure, condition), building operations (laundry, packages, elevators), and your own comfort with the lease terms.

What costs should I confirm before signing a lease in a high-retention building?

Confirm the full monthly picture, not just the asking rent: broker fee expectations, security deposit, utilities/payment structure, and any recurring building charges. Also ask about move-in requirements like documentation and timing.

Can retention signals be outdated by the time I tour?

They can be. Tenant retention is based on signals that may not capture recent management changes or new issues. Always ask the building how current policies work and compare with the most recent tenant Q&A.

What to check before choosing a building with high tenant retention in Kensington

Confirm what “high retention” means for you: ask about lease renewal timing, typical move-out notices, and whether incentives affect stays.
Use the tenant Q&A to check how management handles maintenance tickets, heat/water issues, and common-area cleanliness.
Compare costs beyond the asking rent: ask landlords/brokers about broker fees, security deposit, and any recurring charges (utilities or building fees).
Verify the unit details that change your experience even in a steady building: noise exposure, storage access, laundry setup, and whether packages are secure.
Before signing, ask for the most recent rent history/renewal terms (when applicable) and get any promises in writing (repairs, concessions, or upgrades).
