Not necessarily. Retention is about tenant staying behavior; maintenance quality, noise levels, and responsiveness can vary by block, floor, and unit. Review the specific feedback themes and ask about repairs and response times.

Ask for current lease terms, renewal/transfer practices if relevant, and any building policies you care about (package handling, guest access, laundry setup, and maintenance request process).
