What should I ask about before signing a lease near the 5 train?

Ask about the renewal process, rent-change timing, any fees (application, move-in, parking), deposit terms, and what documentation is required. Also confirm the practical commute from the building entrance to your usual 5 train station.

How reliable is the building info and ratings on Openigloo?
