No. Retention is a building-level signal, not a promise about your specific unit or future conditions. You should still confirm how maintenance is handled, what the most recent tenants reported, and what your lease terms look like.

Confirm the lease start/end dates, renewal and rent-adjustment language, and the full move-in costs listed for the specific apartment (deposit, broker fee if applicable, and any required charges). Also confirm building policies that affect daily life (packages, maintenance requests, and access rules).
