Studio apartments in good cause buildings for rent near M9 Battery Park City - Kips Bay in Financial District, Manhattan

Good cause refers to a tenant-protection category, not a place. It can limit certain rent increases or non-renewals, but you still need to review the lease and building details for each unit.

There are 117+ studio apartments for rent in this scope, with a median rent of $4,160.

Use the $4,160 median rent as a reference, but also account for the full monthly cost, including utilities, deposits, broker fee if any, and any required move-in charges.

Ask about the lease term, renewal process, fees, any non-rent charges, and whether the unit has building-specific rules that could affect your total cost.

No. Good cause is a market tenancy protection category, not an official affordable-housing program. It does not mean the apartment is income-restricted, subsidized, NYCHA, HPD, Section 8, or a lottery unit.

Openigloo uses the building’s tenant-protection status for this filter. That helps you narrow to apartments for rent in buildings with good cause protections, but you should still verify the unit’s lease terms and any current restrictions.

Location, building age, amenities, lease terms, and added fees all affect the real cost. A lower asking rent can still be expensive if utilities, deposits, or broker fees are high.
