What does “high tenant retention” mean on this page?

It’s an Openigloo filter built from tenant-move patterns, used as a proxy for stability. It doesn’t guarantee how any particular unit will behave, so you should still verify details with the building and the current listing.

How does the “Q train” filter work here?

It limits eligible buildings to those near the Q subway line. Because “near” can vary by exact station and entrance, confirm the commute route you’ll use day-to-day.

Does high retention mean repairs and management are always good?

Not always. Retention is a signal, but it can reflect many factors (unit layout, rent level, neighborhood convenience). Use tenant Q&A and building notes to check repair responsiveness, communication, and consistency.

What should I confirm before signing a lease for a building on this page?

Confirm lease renewal language, any fees at move-in, deposit requirements, and what utilities are included. Also confirm building rules that affect daily life, since those can change by building and over time.

Will the asking rent alone tell me if the lease is affordable for me?

No. The total monthly cost matters, including broker fees (if any), deposit, utilities, and other move-in or recurring charges. Compare the all-in number and ask for a clear breakdown.

How current are the tenant signals and what if the building recently changed?

Signals reflect available data up to the page snapshot date. If there’s been management turnover, renovations, or policy changes, rely on the most recent tenant Q&A and ask the building directly.

Is high retention a guarantee I won’t deal with issues like pests or noise?

No. Tenant retention can indicate stability, but building conditions and unit-specific factors still vary. Ask about current conditions and maintenance processes, and consider verifying with recent tenant feedback.
