Apartments in good cause buildings for rent near M102 Harlem - East Village in Murray Hill, Manhattan

Good cause is a tenant-protection category, not a neighborhood or a price tier. It points you to apartments for rent in buildings that may have limits on certain rent increases or non-renewals, but you still need to read the lease and confirm the building’s rules.

There are 139+ apartments for rent in this scope right now, with a $5,764 median rent.

Openigloo lets you check building-level reviews, landlord signals, and renter feedback so you can compare units before you tour or apply. That matters here because good cause status alone does not tell you whether the building is well managed.

Confirm the full monthly cost, including fees, utilities, deposit, and any broker fee. Also check whether the apartment’s renewal terms, income requirements, and move-in timing work for you.

East Village has 225+ apartments for rent, Hell's Kitchen has 388+ apartments for rent, Stuyvesant Town/PCV has 268+ apartments for rent, Kips Bay has 221+ apartments for rent, and Yorkville has 196+ apartments for rent.

Good cause may affect certain rent increases or non-renewal rules, but it does not eliminate all move-in costs or guarantee a low asking rent. Compare the unit’s price, fees, and lease terms with similar apartments for rent in Manhattan.

No. Good cause is a tenant-protection category, not income-restricted, subsidized, lottery, NYCHA, HPD, or Section 8 housing. The page is for market-rate apartments for rent that are in good cause buildings.
