How reliable are building ratings on Openigloo?

Ratings reflect what’s available for rated buildings in the dataset (3.8/5 across 74 rated buildings). Use them for comparison, then validate specifics with the building directly and through any tenant Q&A.

Are there any extra costs that could make an “affordable” building less affordable?

Yes. Even when asking rent is market-relative affordable, you still need to plan for the full monthly cost. Deposits, broker fees (if applicable), and utilities can raise the effective total.

Does “near colleges” affect lease terms or tenant eligibility?

The filter is about proximity, not eligibility. Lease terms, renewal practices, and any screening criteria are building-specific—confirm details from the leasing office before applying.
