Does high retention guarantee a good landlord or a particular rent increase?

No. Retention is about patterns over time, not a guarantee for any specific unit, renewal amount, or policy. Ask how renewals work for your lease.

What should I verify before signing a lease?

Confirm the full cost and terms: rent, lease length, renewal language, security deposit, broker fee (if applicable), utilities responsibilities, and any required move-in documents.

Where does Openigloo’s building information come from?

Openigloo uses building-level signals and resident-provided insights in rated buildings to help you compare. Still, treat tour conversations and the signed lease as the final authority.

Are there any restrictions or fees that can change my total monthly cost?

Yes. Even with high retention, different buildings can have different deposit requirements, broker fees, utility setups, and recurring building fees. Get a line-item answer from the building before applying.

What to check before choosing a building with high tenant retention in South Harlem

Use “high-retention” as a starting signal: it suggests renters tend to stay, but you should still verify your specific unit and lease terms.
Before applying, confirm the basics with the building: rent amount, lease length, renewal process, and any move-in costs (deposit, broker fee, and required paperwork).
Check whether the building has current availability and whether the unit you want matches your timeline, even if the building’s overall retention is high.
If you’re comparing multiple buildings, review the rated-building information side-by-side to understand how retention aligns with day-to-day experience for residents.
Ask directly about policies that affect renewal and costs (utilities responsibility, parking terms, and any recurring fees) so your full monthly budget is clear.
