Does high tenant retention mean the building is always easy to live in?

It’s a helpful signal, not a guarantee. Retention can reflect many things (management practices, unit layout, building condition), but individual apartments still vary—confirm specifics with the building before you apply.

What should I verify during a tour or after I shortlist?

Ask about maintenance SLAs, how quickly issues get addressed, package delivery/intercom access, and what renewals typically look like. Also confirm utilities, deposits, and any move-in fees tied to the specific unit.

Is the tenant Q&A reliable for making a decision?

Use it as a pattern-check. Read multiple comments, especially where different tenants mention the same operational issues (noise, repairs, communication). If there are few recent notes, rely more on direct building answers.
