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

It’s a filter intended to surface buildings where the rent-increase rules are more favorable for tenants (often tied to regulatory protections and how renewals are handled). Still, ask the building for the specific renewal terms for the unit you’re considering.

Does “near the M2 bus” guarantee an easy commute?

No. The filter helps you narrow by location, but actual commute time depends on the exact stop, your walking route, and traffic at the times you travel. Check the closest stops and walk it if possible.

How does Openigloo help me vet these buildings beyond search filters?

Openigloo combines renter reviews with open-data signals and tenant Q&A. Use that to shortlist buildings, then confirm the remaining details (renewal terms, fees, and any move-in conditions) with management.

What should I ask before applying, even if the building matches the filters?

Ask for the unit’s current rent and renewal/adjustment expectations, when the next adjustment would apply, and any administrative requirements. Also confirm any non-rent costs that can affect your monthly total.

Are these buildings guaranteed to have low increases for every tenant and every unit?

No. Units can differ by rent history and lease situation, and building-specific policy can change. Use the filter as a starting point, then get written answers or documentation from the building for the exact unit.
