How reliable are the heat signals compared to what I’ll experience in my unit?

They’re a useful starting point, but they’re not a guarantee. Building practices, unit layout, and maintenance responses can vary, so treat Openigloo ratings as screening input and verify specifics with the landlord or super.

What should I ask the building about heat before applying?

Ask about radiator/thermostat control, typical heating season timing, how they handle complaints, and maintenance timelines. Also confirm whether there are any known unit-by-unit issues.

How do I estimate my total monthly cost, not just the asking rent?

Look at the lease terms for utilities and any required move-in payments shown for the specific available apartment. Deposits, broker-related costs (if applicable), and utilities can change your effective monthly budget.
