It’s a useful signal, but it doesn’t replace unit-level due diligence. Retention can be influenced by rent stability, amenities, and management practices, so you should still verify current conditions and lease terms for the specific apartment.

Confirm lease start/end dates and renewal expectations, ask about maintenance procedures and response times, and verify move-in costs (deposit and any broker-fee expectations). Also check what’s included in your monthly total (utilities, laundry access, and any recurring building fees if applicable).

Openigloo brings together building-level reviews and renter conversations (tenant Q&A) plus structured, open-data style signals. Use these to cross-check whether the reasons tenants stay align with what you care about.

No single metric can capture changes that happen after the data snapshot. If anything has changed recently (management, renovations, policy updates), use Q&A and direct questions to the building to confirm the current situation.
