What does “high tenant retention” mean on Openigloo?

It’s a building-level signal meant to reflect how consistently renters stay over time. Use it to prioritize buildings to investigate, then validate current service and costs directly with the building or management.

How does the “M2 bus” filter work on this Manhattan page?

The page is scoped to Manhattan buildings that are near the M2 bus corridor. Treat “near” as a convenience filter and confirm the walk time from the entrance to your typical stop(s).

How should I use tenant-retention data when comparing buildings?

Look for consistency: does the building’s retention signal line up with maintenance expectations, responsiveness, and total monthly cost in the unit you’re considering? If the building’s price or fees look off, prioritize getting those details in writing.

What should I ask about before signing a lease in a high-retention building?

Ask about maintenance SLAs or typical response times, renewal timing, any recent policy changes, and the full monthly cost including utilities and one-time fees. Also confirm any unit-specific rules that may not be visible in the building overview.

Do high-retention buildings always have fewer issues?

Not necessarily. Retention is a helpful trend signal, but real-world conditions can change. Use the reviews/Q&A to understand what tenants experienced recently, and verify key points with the building before you commit.

Is there any difference between using this page for budgeting vs. touring?

Yes. This page helps you shortlist buildings, but you still need a unit-level cost check for deposits, broker fees (if applicable), and utility responsibility. Budgeting from the asking rent alone can miss the full monthly total.
