Use them to compare patterns across buildings (what tenants report and what rated buildings reflect), then confirm the details that affect you most—fees, lease terms, and any practical move-in requirements—directly with the building.

Ask about lease renewal expectations, required documentation, any non-refundable fees, utility responsibilities, and whether the building has any current restrictions that could affect your move-in timeline.
