What does “high tenant retention” mean here?

It’s a building-level signal based on how long tenants tend to stay compared to other buildings in the dataset. It doesn’t guarantee your specific lease will renew, so confirm renewal terms and any listed lease riders directly with the building.

What should I confirm before applying to a high-retention building?

Ask about current availability for your move-in date, lease term options, renewal/discontinuation policies, and any documented building rules that affect day-to-day living (entry access, packages, guest policies, and noise expectations).
