Studio apartments in good cause buildings for rent near parks in Battery Park City, Manhattan

Good cause is a tenant-protection category. It points to buildings where certain rent increases or non-renewals may be limited under applicable rules, but it does not describe a neighborhood or guarantee every lease term.

There are 15+ studio apartments for rent on this page. Because inventory changes fast, the count is a current snapshot, not a fixed total.

The median rent is $4,684. Use it as a budget check, but compare the asking rent, fees, and lease terms for each unit before you apply.

It can affect how a lease is renewed or how increases are handled, but you still need to budget for the full monthly cost, including fees, utilities, deposit, and any broker fee.

No. Good cause is not income-restricted, subsidized, NYCHA, HPD, Section 8, or housing-lottery housing. It is a market-rental tenant-protection category, so the apartments still have asking rents like other private rentals.

Openigloo uses building-level status data to show apartments in buildings associated with good cause tenant protections. It is a filter on rent-protection status, not a price cap or a public housing program.

Confirm the exact rent, whether the building is still covered by the good cause status you expect, and any lease rules that affect renewals, pets, deposits, or move-in timing.
