What does the “low-rent-increases” filter mean on Openigloo?

It’s a regulatory/tenant-protection category filter (not a pricing guess). It’s designed to surface buildings whose rent-increase outcomes are constrained by the applicable rules for eligible units, but you should still confirm the exact coverage for the specific unit and lease.

How does the M20 bus part of the filter work?

It narrows buildings to those near the M20 bus corridor within Midtown. Use the map on the building page to verify walking time and real-world route convenience for your destination.

Are these buildings affordable-income restricted housing or subsidized?

No. This page is about low rent-increase criteria in eligible units, not income-restricted programs, subsidies, NYCHA, HPD programs, Section 8, or housing-lottery affordable-housing setups.

Do the “low-rent-increases” rules guarantee a specific rent amount for every apartment?

No. The filter targets the rent-increase framework, but the actual rent depends on the unit’s lease terms and how rent was set for that specific apartment. Confirm the rent history and renewal language for the exact unit.

What should I ask management before signing if I’m relying on rent-increase protections?

Ask for the precise regulatory status for the unit, the lease/renewal provisions tied to rent changes, when increases can occur, and whether any contemporaneous fees are being applied (and whether they’re optional or required). Get everything in writing.
