Good cause is a tenant-protection category. It can limit certain rent increases or non-renewals, but it does not guarantee a lower asking rent or a specific lease outcome.

No. Good cause on Openigloo is a tenant-protection filter, not income-restricted housing, subsidized housing, housing-lottery units, NYCHA, HPD, or Section 8. It identifies apartments with certain tenant protections, while rents are still market-rate.

Good cause and rent-stabilized are different regulatory categories. Good cause focuses on tenant protections around renewal and certain increases, while rent-stabilized apartments follow a separate set of rules for rent increases and renewal protections.

This page does not use the affordable filter, so there is no affordable threshold here. For Openigloo affordable pages, the threshold is based on the 25th percentile of gross rents in the page’s scope, then clamped to stay realistic.

Check the sleeping area layout, kitchen setup, storage, and whether there is only one bathroom. In a studio, those details affect livability as much as the asking rent.

Location, building age, amenities, lease terms, and move-in fees all affect the real monthly cost. The asking rent is only part of the budget.
