Do the Openigloo ratings tell me how my lease will be handled?

What should I ask before applying for a good-cause building?

Ask for how renewals are handled, how rent increases are calculated, and what documentation is required for your lease. Also ask about any exceptions that management may apply, since “good cause” coverage can be nuanced.

Is being near transit the same as having an easy commute every day?

No. Nearby stops can still mean different commute times depending on service changes, walking routes, and time of day. Validate the route you’d use and check for realistic transfer options.
