Good cause is a tenant-protection category tied to limits on certain rent increases or non-renewals. It is not a neighborhood and it does not mean every unit has the same protections.

There are 16+ 2-bedroom apartments for rent in this scope, with a median rent of $7,391.

For 2-bedroom apartments, the 16+ unit count and the $7,391 median rent together show that this search is fairly limited and priced at a higher level than many renters expect. Use both when deciding whether to expand your search or adjust your budget.

Ask about the lease term, renewal rules, security deposit, broker fee, utilities, and any building-specific restrictions. Good cause protections do not remove the need to verify the exact move-in cost and renewal terms.

No. Good cause is a market tenant-protection category, not income-restricted, subsidized, housing-lottery, NYCHA, HPD, or Section 8 housing.

Openigloo uses the page’s scope to organize apartments that fall under good cause protections. The key point is to verify the building’s rules and lease language, since protections depend on the property and tenancy terms.

Location near the M2 corridor, building age, amenities, lease length, and move-in fees can all change the true monthly cost. The asking rent is only part of the total.
