They can have more wear from age, but it varies by building. Use Openigloo tenant Q&A and the building’s details to spot patterns, then ask management about recent repairs and ongoing maintenance.

Confirm heating and hot water reliability, building access rules, laundry/package processes, and any utility responsibilities. Also verify whether any renovations have documented updates to electrical, plumbing, or windows.

The filter itself is about location and building age, not eligibility or pricing rules. Your final costs depend on the specific unit, lease terms, and any building fees disclosed for move-in.
