The median rent is $5,250. Use that as a benchmark, but compare each apartment’s total monthly cost before you apply.

No. Good cause is a tenant-protection category, not an affordability program or a qualification shortcut. You still need to check income, credit, fees, and lease terms with the landlord or agent.

No. This page filters market-rate apartments in good cause buildings. The filter is about tenant protections, not income limits, subsidies, Section 8, NYCHA, or housing-lottery units.

This page does not use Openigloo's affordable filter. If you use that filter elsewhere, the threshold is based on the 25th percentile of gross rents within the page's scope, not on an official affordable-housing program.

Ask about the renewal notice timeline, any rent-increase rules tied to good cause, broker fees, security deposit, utilities, and whether the building has other lease restrictions that affect your move-in cost.
