What does good cause mean on this page?

It refers to buildings covered by a tenant-protection category, not a place or a rent level. It can limit certain rent increases or non-renewals, but it does not remove the need to review the lease and building rules.

How many 2-bedroom apartments for rent are there in East Harlem right now?

There are 11 2-bedroom apartments for rent in good cause buildings in East Harlem on this page, with a median rent of $3,514.

Is this income-restricted, subsidized, or housing-lottery housing?

No. Openigloo's good cause filter is a market and tenant-protection filter, not an official affordable-housing program. It does not mean income-restricted, subsidized, NYCHA, HPD, or Section 8 housing.

How is the good cause threshold decided?

Good cause is not based on a rent percentile. It is a tenant-protection category that helps surface apartments in buildings where certain rent and renewal rules may apply under the relevant law.

What should I confirm before I apply?

Confirm the full monthly cost, including fees, utilities, deposit, and any broker fee, plus the renewal terms and any building-specific rules that still apply.

What factors affect affordability on this page?

Location, building age, amenities, and lease terms can all change the total cost. A lower asking rent can still become expensive once fees and utilities are added.

Which neighborhoods are trending right now?

In this latest snapshot, East Village, Hell's Kitchen, Stuyvesant Town/PCV, Kips Bay, and Yorkville.
