Studio apartments in good cause buildings for rent near M8 West Village - East Village in Chelsea, Manhattan

This page shows studio apartments for rent in Chelsea, Manhattan near M8 West Village - East Village that are in good cause buildings. Good cause is a tenant-protection category, so it relates to certain rent increase and non-renewal limits, not a location.

There are 19+ studio apartments for rent on this page, and the median rent is $4,795. For a studio budget, that median sits at the point where unit size, layout, and total move-in costs matter a lot.

Confirm that the building is still covered, ask how the protection applies to your unit, and review renewal terms, notice requirements, and any rent-increase limits. Good cause rules can depend on the building and lease details.

No. Good cause is not income-restricted, subsidized, lottery, NYCHA, HPD, or Section 8 housing. It is a market-rate tenant-protection category that can limit certain rent increases or non-renewals.

Openigloo uses the building's good cause status for this page's scope and shows apartments that match it. That status is separate from rent level, size, and neighborhood, so you should still verify the current building records and lease terms.

Beyond the asking rent, fees, utilities, deposit, broker fee, and lease terms can change the real monthly cost. In a studio, also factor in storage needs, the sleeping area layout, and whether the kitchen setup works for your routine.

A transit-linked search can help you compare units by commute convenience, but it does not change the rent math. Use the page to balance location, studio layout, and the full monthly cost before you apply.
