This page is about market-rate apartments with those tenant-protection categories, so you should still review the asking rent and all lease costs.

Ask for written confirmation of the rent-stabilized status, any renewal limits, and whether the good cause protection applies to your unit and lease. Also confirm application fees, deposits, broker fees, and any utility or amenity charges.

They can change both the asking rent and the full monthly cost. In Chelsea, newer buildings and extra amenities often cost more, while lease terms, concessions, and fee structures can make two similar 1-bedroom apartments feel very different in practice.
