Is high tenant retention a guarantee that a building will work for me?

No. Retention is a broad stability signal. You should still verify details directly with the building (repairs, policies, and the specific unit you’re considering).

What should I ask before applying or signing a lease for a high-retention building?

Ask about recent maintenance issues and resolution times, any upcoming construction or major repairs, elevator status (if applicable), and the building’s policy on transfers, renewals, and move-in scheduling.

What costs should I budget for beyond the asking rent?

Factor in the full monthly impact of move-in and recurring expenses like broker/fee structure, deposits, and utilities or building service charges, not just the rent amount.
