What does good cause mean on this page?

Good cause refers to a tenant-protection category tied to certain limits on rent increases and non-renewals. It does not mean the apartment is cheaper or rent-stabilized.

What is the typical rent here?

The median rent is $3,782 for this scope, which gives you a starting point for budget planning.

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

No. Good cause on Openigloo is a tenant-protection filter, not an income-restricted or subsidized housing program. It does not indicate NYCHA, HPD, Section 8, or a lottery unit.

How is the good cause filter decided?

It comes from the page's status filter, which groups apartments identified as good cause buildings within this specific East Village studio scope.

What should I confirm before signing a lease?

Check the full monthly cost, including broker fee, security deposit, utilities, and any move-in charges. Also confirm how the lease handles renewal, notices, and any building-specific rules.

Why can two good cause apartments still feel very different in cost?

Affordability depends on location, building age, amenities, and lease terms. The asking rent is only one part of the total cost, so compare those details before you apply.
