Apartments in good cause buildings for rent near M103 East Harlem - City Hall in Flatiron, Manhattan

Good cause refers to a tenant-protection category. It can affect how rent increases or non-renewals are handled, but it does not mean every apartment is identical or that the asking rent is automatically lower.

There are 24+ apartments for rent in this Flatiron search near the M103, with a median rent of $6,172.

No. Good cause is not an official affordable-housing program. It is a market tenant-protection category, so you should still review the asking rent, lease terms, and monthly costs carefully.

This page does not use the affordable filter. If it did, Openigloo would set the threshold using the 25th percentile of gross rents within the page’s scope, as a market-relative screen rather than a housing-program designation.

Confirm that the apartment is actually in a good cause building, ask how the protection affects renewals, and check for broker fees, security deposit requirements, utilities, and any building-specific move-in charges.

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.

Location, building age, amenities, lease terms, and extra monthly costs can change the real price. A lower asking rent can still become expensive once you add fees, utilities, or a broker fee.
