What does this page include?

This page includes 36 apartments for rent in Midtown East, Manhattan that are filtered to studio apartments in rent-stabilized, good cause buildings.

What does rent-stabilized mean here?

Rent-stabilized means the apartment is subject to regulated rent increase rules and renewal protections. Confirm the current legal status with the landlord or agent before you apply.

What does good cause building mean?

Good cause refers to a tenant-protection category that can limit certain rent increases or non-renewals. It does not replace the lease, so read the terms and confirm how the protections apply to the unit.

Is this income-restricted, subsidized, or housing-lottery housing?

No. On Openigloo, affordable or protection-based filters are not the same as income-restricted, subsidized, housing-lottery, NYCHA, HPD, or Section 8 housing. This page is about market-rate apartments that meet the rent-stabilized and good cause filter criteria.

How are studios different for budget planning?

Studios usually combine the sleeping area and living area, so unit count, layout, and storage matter as much as rent. In Midtown East, where the median rent on this page is $4,062, a studio that fits your setup can be a better value than a larger unit with higher monthly costs.

How is the rent-stabilized or good cause status confirmed?

Use the building information on Openigloo as a starting point, then verify the status with the landlord or agent. Status can vary by unit, and lease paperwork should match the protections advertised.
