Rent-stabilized apartments for rent in good cause buildings in NYC

This page shows 2,012+ apartments for rent in NYC that match the rent-stabilized and good cause filters. It is meant for renters looking for apartments with tenant-protection rules, not a single neighborhood or borough.

Rent-stabilized housing is a regulatory category with rules around rent increases and renewal protections. The exact terms still depend on the lease and building records, so confirm the status with the agent or building documents.

Good cause is a tenant-protection category that can limit certain rent increases or non-renewals. It is not a neighborhood label, and the protections still need to be verified for the specific unit and lease.

The median rent on this page is $5,031, which gives you a rough benchmark for the current market. Since 2,012+ apartments are included, budget planning should also account for unit size, location, and move-in costs.

Ask about broker fees, deposits, utilities, renewal terms, and any unit-specific restrictions. Even in rent-stabilized or good cause buildings, monthly out-of-pocket costs can differ from the asking rent.

This page is not using an affordable filter, so there is no market-relative affordability threshold here. If you use Openigloo's affordable filter elsewhere, it is based on asking rents at or below the 25th percentile for that page's scope, not an official housing program.

Start with neighborhoods that match your commute and budget, then compare rent, building reviews, and move-in terms. Areas like the East Village, Hell's Kitchen, Yorkville, Lenox Hill, and Flatbush currently have notable inventory in this scope.
