What does “high tenant retention” mean on Openigloo?

It’s a building-level signal based on renter turnover patterns visible in Openigloo’s data. The goal is to help you focus on buildings where tenants tend to stay longer—but it’s not a guarantee about any specific future tenant experience.

Does high retention mean the building will approve me and offer the same terms as other tenants?

No. Retention is about patterns in the past; approvals and unit-specific terms are determined by the building and may vary by income, guarantor status, unit type, and availability.

What should I confirm before signing a lease even if the building looks like a good match?

Confirm move-in costs, deposits and required fees, utility responsibilities, lease renewal mechanics, and any building policies that affect daily routines (noise/building rules, package or access procedures, and maintenance timelines).

Is there any way these building signals could be outdated?

Yes. Policies, fees, and availability can change. Use Openigloo signals to shortlist, then ask for the building’s current rules, fee schedules, and lease language for the specific unit.
