  • Review the building’s basics on Openigloo (rated building signals and tenant questions), but confirm unit-specific details with the super or leasing office.
  • Before signing, confirm lease start/end dates, renewal terms, and any fees (application, move-in, and security deposit).
  • If you’re relying on transit proximity, ask what the nearest stop entrance is like in practice (weather coverage, sidewalks, and pedestrian flow).
