2-bedroom apartments in good cause buildings for rent near M42 United Nations - W 42 St Pier in Manhattan

Good cause refers to a tenant-protection category in certain buildings. It can limit some rent increases or non-renewals, but it does not mean every apartment has the same protections or lease terms.

No. Good cause is a market-based tenant-protection filter, not an official affordable-housing program. These are regular apartments for rent, so you still need to confirm the asking rent, lease terms, and any protections that apply to the building.

This page is not using an affordable filter. It is a good cause page, so there is no market-relative affordable threshold here.

There are 191+ apartments for rent, and the median rent is $7,495. For 2-bedroom apartments, that median gives you a rough starting point for budget planning, but individual units can still vary by building, block, and lease terms.

Confirm the building’s good cause status, the lease length, renewal terms, deposit amount, and whether there are broker fees, amenity fees, or utility charges that change your monthly cost.
