What does “low rent increases” mean on this page?

It’s a filter for buildings where rent-increase behavior is lower than typical under the relevant regulatory conditions. Still, you should confirm the exact renewal expectations and notice process with the landlord for the unit you want.

How does the 1-train part work—does it guarantee the building is close to a specific station?

The filter is a commute-oriented match. Proximity can vary block to block, so verify the route and walking time from your preferred station or time of day.

Are the building counts (99+) current?

Yes. The page count reflects 99+ eligible buildings as of 2026-07-07, and availability can change as apartments are added or removed.

What should I check before signing a lease if I’m relying on the “low rent increases” filter?

Ask for the lease renewal history for the unit (or a comparable unit), renewal notice timeline, and any fees that apply at renewal. Also confirm whether there are unit-level exceptions.

Does a higher Openigloo rating (rated buildings) mean the unit will be cheaper?

Not necessarily. Ratings can reflect experience, maintenance, and management responsiveness. Use the low-rent-increase filter for rent expectations, and then validate total monthly cost and renewal terms per unit.
