Does high tenant retention mean I’m guaranteed a good unit or smooth leasing?

No. Tenant retention is a building-level pattern, not a guarantee for any specific unit. Fees, maintenance response, and renewal outcomes can vary depending on the apartment and your lease details.

What should I verify before signing a lease, even if retention looks strong?

Confirm the exact lease term and renewal process, any building move-in requirements, and what’s included (utilities, internet, maintenance scope). Also ask how the building handles repairs and how long service requests typically take to resolve.

How should I use the Openigloo rating for Midtown South?
