Studio apartments in good cause buildings for rent near X28 Sea Gate / Bensonhurst - Manhattan Express in Kips Bay, Manhattan

Good cause refers to tenant protections that can limit certain rent increases or non-renewals in qualifying buildings. It is not the same as a price discount, and it does not guarantee lower move-in costs or a specific renewal outcome.

There are 34+ studio apartments for rent in this scope as of 2026-07-04. The live count can change as units are rented or added.

The median rent is $4,384. Use that as a planning reference, but confirm the asking rent, fees, and any recurring monthly charges before you apply.

No. Good cause on Openigloo is a market-rule tenant-protection category, not income-restricted housing, subsidized housing, lottery housing, NYCHA, HPD, or Section 8. It filters for buildings with those protections, not official affordable-housing programs.

Openigloo uses building and rental-status data to identify apartments in buildings that fall under the good cause category. That helps you focus on tenant-protection coverage, but you still need to confirm the exact lease terms and building status for any specific unit.

Check the full monthly cost, including application fees, broker fee, security deposit, utilities, and any amenity or package fees. For a studio, also confirm the actual layout, storage, and where the sleeping area will fit.

Openigloo shows renter feedback on buildings and landlords so you can spot patterns in repairs, communication, and move-in experience before touring or applying.
