Studio apartments in good cause buildings for rent near M15-SBS East Harlem - South Ferry in Gramercy Park, Manhattan

Good cause is a tenant-protection category. It filters for buildings where certain rent increases or non-renewals may be limited, but it does not guarantee the same rules for every unit. Confirm the lease and renewal terms with the agent.

There are 16+ studio apartments for rent on this page, with a median rent of $4,492.

No. Good cause is not an official affordable-housing program. It is a market and tenant-protection filter, so the apartments still have regular asking rents and standard application requirements unless the building states otherwise.

Good cause is about tenant-protection rules around certain rent increases or non-renewals. Rent-stabilized is a separate regulatory category with its own renewal and increase rules. They are not the same, so check the building status carefully.

Confirm the full monthly cost, including broker fee, security deposit, utilities, and any building fees. In a studio, also check the layout for sleeping space, kitchen placement, and storage since the unit has one main room.

Use the $4,492 median rent as a planning reference, then add move-in fees and recurring costs. For studios, the rent may be lower than larger units, but total monthly cost can still rise once utilities and building fees are included.
