Studio apartments in good cause buildings for rent near E Train in Murray Hill, Manhattan

Good cause is a tenant-protection category. It can limit certain rent increases or non-renewals, but it does not change the fact that you still need to review the lease, building rules, and move-in charges.

There are 14+ studio apartments for rent on this page, and the median rent is $4,034. For budgeting, the unit count, median rent, and studio size all matter because the cheapest unit may still have higher upfront costs or tradeoffs in layout.

No. Good cause is not an official affordable-housing program. It is a market rental filter for apartments in buildings with tenant protections, so these are not income-restricted, subsidized, NYCHA, HPD, or Section 8 units unless the listing says so separately.

Good cause describes a building status, not a place. On this page, you are looking at studio apartments for rent near the E Train in Murray Hill, Manhattan, and the filter is meant to surface buildings with tenant-protection rules.

Ask about broker fees, security deposit, utilities, application fees, and any lease clauses tied to good cause status. Also confirm whether the building has move-in rules, income checks, or renewal conditions that affect your total monthly cost.

Openigloo lets you review building and landlord feedback so you can spot patterns in maintenance, communication, and lease handling before you commit. That can be especially useful when choosing among a small set of studios with similar rents.

Check the layout carefully, since studio apartments can feel very different depending on sleeping space, kitchen placement, storage, and noise. Transit access is useful, but it should not outweigh practical details like light, ventilation, and rent-to-space tradeoffs.
