Studio apartments in good cause buildings for rent near 7 Train in Kips Bay, Manhattan

It means the apartments are in buildings covered by good cause tenant protections, which can limit certain rent increases or non-renewals. It does not change the asking rent, and you should still review the lease and building rules carefully.

There are 22+ studio apartments for rent on this page, with a median rent of $4,445.

Confirm the lease term, renewal rules, any income or credit requirements, fees, and whether the unit's good cause protections apply as expected. Full monthly cost can still include utilities, deposits, and broker fees.

No. Good cause is a market housing protection category, not income-restricted housing, subsidized housing, housing-lottery housing, NYCHA, HPD, or Section 8. The page is for apartments in good cause buildings with protections tied to the building and lease rules.

This page is not an affordable filter page. It is a good cause page, so there is no affordable-rent threshold here. If you want market-relative affordable apartments, Openigloo uses a scope-based percentile method for that filter instead.

Location near the 7 Train, building age, amenities, lease terms, fees, and utilities all affect the real monthly cost. A lower asking rent can still be expensive once you add deposits, broker fees, and recurring charges.

You can use building and landlord reviews, plus filter details like good cause status, to compare management quality and rental terms before you apply.
