No. Good cause is not the same as income-restricted, subsidized, or housing-lottery housing. It is a market-based tenant-protection category, so the asking rent is still set by the market and you should review the lease terms and full monthly cost.

Good cause is about tenant protections in the building, not a rent cap. It does not guarantee affordability, and the $4,354 median rent shows that many units can still be well above many budgets.

Check whether the building is actually covered by good cause rules, then ask about broker fees, security deposit, utilities, lease length, and any renewal or rent-increase terms that could affect your total monthly cost.
