What does the “low rent increases” filter mean here?

It’s a building-level filter based on observed/indicated rent-increase patterns, not a guarantee for any specific unit. Rent history and unit status can differ, so confirm the unit’s regulatory category and recent increase details directly with the building.

How should I think about “near the M34-SBS bus” when choosing a building?

Treat M34-SBS proximity as a convenience signal for commuting and errands. Still check the exact stop you’d use most, walk time during your usual hours, and any block-by-block differences in street crossings and foot traffic.

Does this page guarantee that my apartment’s rent will stay low?

No. This filter helps you narrow by building-level patterns, but individual apartments can vary by unit size, lease terms, and regulatory status. You’ll want to confirm the current legal rent and the most recent increase details for the exact unit you’re offered.

How does Openigloo use ratings and signals for these buildings?

Openigloo combines renter-reported content (including building Q&A) with open-data signals where available, and we show a rating snapshot for rated buildings. Use it to shortlist, then verify key details with management before you commit.

What should I ask at the viewing to validate low-increase expectations?

Ask for the unit’s rent history, whether renewals are automatic or require action, how increases have been handled for similar units, and any written policies about notices and renewal timing.

Are there extra costs I should budget for beyond the listed rent?

Yes. Even if rent increases look favorable, you still need to budget for the full move-in picture (e.g., deposits, broker-related costs if applicable, and any utilities or fees stated in the lease). Ask for a line-item breakdown before paying anything.
