Apartments in good cause buildings for rent near Q Train in Chelsea, Manhattan

Good cause is a tenant-protection category, not a neighborhood. It refers to buildings where certain rent increases or non-renewals may be limited under applicable rules. Always confirm how the protection applies to the specific apartment and lease.

There are 93+ apartments for rent on this page, with a median rent of $6,462. The exact mix changes as inventory updates.

Ask whether the apartment is covered by good cause protections, what the renewal process looks like, and whether there are broker fees, deposits, or other move-in costs. Also check the lease term and any unit-specific rules.

Openigloo lets you look at renter-first signals like building reviews and landlord patterns when available, so you can compare more than just the asking rent and location.

No. Good cause is a separate tenant-protection category. A building can be covered by one framework and not the other, so do not assume both apply.

Even in a good cause building, you may still see broker fees, deposits, application fees, and lease-specific rules. Ask about pet policies, roommate limits, and any move-in charges before signing.

With a median rent of $6,462, compare the asking rent against the full monthly cost, not just the base number. Utilities, fees, and any deposit can change what the apartment really costs.
