Not automatically. The filter is based on median asking rent, but your actual budget depends on the full monthly picture, including broker fee (if applicable), required deposits, and whether you pay utilities separately.

Confirm the exact unit’s rent, lease terms, utility responsibility, any required deposits and fees, and whether any move-in costs are separate from rent. Also ask about renewal expectations and any restrictions that could affect your situation.

Openigloo combines on-platform signals (like renter Q&A and rated building feedback where available) with open-data indicators for buildings. Still, you should treat it as a starting point and confirm everything with the leasing office.
