What does “5-train” mean on this page?

How should I use this filter set when touring?

Treat it as a starting list. Verify current availability, lease length, renewal expectations, and any building policies in writing, then confirm anything that affects your move-in timeline.

Does high tenant retention guarantee a particular lease price or rent increases?

No. Retention is about how long tenants tend to stay; it doesn’t predict your exact rent, renewal outcome, or future changes. Confirm the current terms with the building.

What to check before for buildings with high tenant retention near the 5 train in South Harlem

Expect a smaller, more targeted set of buildings (9+), since “5-train” narrows the location and “high retention” emphasizes renters who tend to stay.
Before applying, confirm the current lease terms, renewal rules, and any required documentation for tenant status or move-in.
Check move-in costs beyond the advertised rent (for example: deposit, fees, and any utility or service charges) since total monthly cost can differ by building.
Use the building pages to read tenant Q&A and review notes, then ask follow-up questions about what you’re most concerned about.
