Apartments in good cause buildings for rent near M34-SBS East Side - Javits Center in Murray Hill, Manhattan

It means the apartments for rent shown here are in buildings covered by New York City good cause tenant-protection rules. That category is about limits on certain rent increases and non-renewals, not a lower rent level.

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

The $5,764 median rent gives you a quick sense of the middle of the market, but your real budget should also account for deposit, broker fee, utilities, and any building fees.

Ask whether the unit is actually covered, how renewals work, whether any rent increase limits apply, and whether the building has extra fees or lease conditions that change your move-in cost.

The current trending neighborhoods are Hell's Kitchen with 388+ apartments for rent, Stuyvesant Town/PCV with 268+ apartments for rent, East Village with 225+ apartments for rent, Kips Bay with 221+ apartments for rent, and Yorkville with 196+ apartments for rent.

No. Good cause is a tenant-protection category, not a price discount or approval shortcut. Rent, income requirements, and application screening can still vary by building and landlord.

Confirm the full monthly cost, the lease length, any renewal language, and whether management charges extra fees or requires specific documents before you apply.
