No. Good cause is not an official affordable-housing program. It is a tenant-protection category, so the apartments here are still market-rate unless the individual building or unit says otherwise.

The filter helps you focus on buildings with tenant-protection rules, but it does not guarantee the same lease terms, fees, or move-in costs across every unit. Always confirm the rent, renewal language, and any building-specific rules.

Ask about broker fees, security deposit, application fees, utilities, pet rules if relevant, and whether the lease includes any renewal or rent-increase clauses that matter under good cause protections.
