It’s an Openigloo signal based on renter feedback about how owners or management teams respond to requests and follow through. It’s meant to help you screen for communication quality, not to predict outcomes for a specific unit.

No. Responsiveness is a screening signal from past reports. Real-world timing can vary by issue type, contractor availability, and severity, so it’s still important to ask direct questions and confirm procedures.

Ask how maintenance requests are logged, typical timeframes for common issues, who handles urgent emergencies, and whether tenants get status updates. Also ask what documentation is needed to report a problem.

The responsiveness signal doesn’t include costs. Check each unit’s lease terms and confirm the full monthly cost (including deposits, any recurring fees, and utilities if applicable) before you sign.

Signals can be influenced by the volume and recency of renter feedback. If you see limited recent activity, treat it as a starting point and ask the building team how things are handled now.

Use responsiveness as one factor. Compare it alongside practical lease details (move-in requirements, renewal terms), building policies, and any unit-specific constraints that affect your day-to-day experience.
