Apartments in good cause buildings for rent near M21 Lower East Side - West Village in Greenwich Village, Manhattan

Good cause is a tenant-protection category. It is meant to limit certain rent increases or non-renewals in covered buildings, but it does not describe a neighborhood or guarantee a lower rent.

There are 26+ apartments for rent on this page, with a median rent of $5,400.

No. Good cause is not the same as income-restricted, subsidized, or housing-lottery housing. It is a market-based tenant-protection category, so you still need to review the asking rent, lease terms, and building details.

Check whether the specific building and unit are covered before you apply. Protection status can depend on the property, and the lease terms still matter for renewal, fees, and move-in conditions.

Confirm the asking rent, broker fee if any, security deposit, utilities, and whether the unit itself is covered by the building’s good cause status. Those costs can change the real monthly budget.
