Apartments in good cause buildings for rent near SIM3C Pt. Richmond - Manhattan Express in Financial District, Manhattan

Good cause refers to buildings with tenant-protection rules that can limit certain rent increases or non-renewals. It is not the same as guaranteed low rent, and the lease still matters.

There are 184+ apartments for rent in this scope, and the median rent is $4,354. Use both numbers together when setting your budget, since the median does not include every fee or move-in cost.

No. Good cause on Openigloo is a tenant-protection category, not income-restricted, subsidized, or housing-lottery housing. It does not mean the apartment is part of NYCHA, HPD, Section 8, or another official affordable-housing program.

Openigloo uses the building’s status in the page scope and shows apartments in buildings identified as good cause. It is a building-level tenant-protection filter, so you should still confirm the lease language, renewal terms, and any restrictions with the agent.

Look beyond the asking rent. Broker fees, security deposit, utilities, application fees, and any move-in charges can raise the real monthly cost even in a good cause building.

In this snapshot, East Village has 225+ apartments for rent, Hell's Kitchen has 388+ apartments for rent, Stuyvesant Town/PCV has 268+ apartments for rent, Kips Bay has 221+ apartments for rent, and Yorkville has 196+ apartments for rent.

Ask how renewals work, whether any rent increase limits apply, and whether the building has rules that affect notice periods, fees, or sublets. Those details can change the true value of the apartment.
