What does “low rent increases” mean on Openigloo?

It’s a filter based on available building-level rent-increase indicators. Use it to narrow options, then confirm the current unit’s renewal and increase terms in writing with the building.

How does the M12 bus filter work?

It focuses results on buildings near the M12 route so you can prioritize commute access. For the best match, verify the nearest stop and typical walking time for your exact destination.

Are these buildings guaranteed to have the lowest rent increases in Manhattan?

No. The filter helps you focus on buildings with lower increase patterns, but individual leases, unit types, and renewal terms can differ.

What should I ask the landlord or management before applying?

Ask for the lease renewal terms, how any future increases are calculated, what fees apply (including any recurring charges), and whether there are specific restrictions or requirements for your unit.

Does this page include both market-rate and rent-regulated buildings?

The scope is Manhattan buildings that match the two filters. You should still confirm each building’s regulatory status and lease terms because they can vary by unit.

How reliable are the rent-increase indicators compared with what the building says?

They’re useful for comparison, but they may not reflect every nuance of your specific lease. Always confirm the latest terms directly with the building before committing.

What to check before choosing a building with low rent increases near the M12 bus in Manhattan

Check the exact rent rules tied to your unit (renewal language, renewal timing, and any rider/fee details). “Low rent increases” flags patterns, not guarantees.
Review the lease mechanics: rent commencement date, how increases are calculated, and what charges are separate from monthly rent (maintenance, utilities, move-in fees).
Confirm transit fit: walk-time to the nearest M12 stops for your commute, not just route proximity.
If the building is rent-regulated or has regulated components, verify what applies to your specific apartment (stabilized vs. other arrangements).
Plan for the full move-in cost: security deposit and any required fees can change total affordability beyond the listed monthly rent.
