What to check before for buildings with high tenant retention in Central Harlem

  • Use the high-retention filter as a shortlist tool, then confirm what “stays” means for you: maintenance response, noise, and how management handles renewals.
  • Check lease terms early. Ask whether renewals are available, and whether there are any changes to rent, fees, or move-in requirements from the prior lease.
  • Verify full move-in costs beyond the asking rent (deposit, broker fee if applicable, and any recurring charges you’ll be responsible for).
  • Scan recent tenant feedback in the building for patterns tied to retention signals, especially around repairs, safety, and building rules.
  • Contact the building with your specific needs (walk-up vs. elevator, laundry access, package handling, and any accessibility requirements).
  • If you’re comparing multiple buildings, prioritize consistent details across recent feedback rather than one-off anecdotes. Use the filter to reduce the list first.
