No. Openigloo signals can help you shortlist, but you should confirm the exact lease terms, fees, and building policies directly (especially deposit requirements, move-in timing, and any household rules).

Confirm broker fee responsibility, total upfront costs (deposit and any move-in fees), utilities/who pays what, laundry access, and the stated timeline for repairs or maintenance requests.
