Do the “high-retention” signals guarantee a lease renewal for my unit?

No. Tenant retention is a building-level pattern, not a promise about your specific lease. Always ask the building about renewals and what factors affect rent changes for current tenants.

What should I confirm before applying or signing a lease?

Confirm the unit’s actual terms (rent, concessions if any, lease length, and start date), what utilities are included, move-in requirements, and how deposits/broker fees are handled. Also ask how renewals are typically handled in your building.

How does Openigloo help beyond the filters?

Openigloo groups building information and tenant questions/answers so you can compare options quickly. Use it to spot consistent concerns or recurring topics, then follow up directly with the building for anything that needs clarification.

Are buildings on this page the same as “best buildings” in East Harlem?
