No. The asking rent is capped at $3,000, but broker fees, deposits, utilities, and other move-in costs can raise the total.

For studios, space planning matters. Check where the sleeping area fits, whether the kitchen is separate or open, how much storage you get, and how the bathroom is laid out.

Confirm whether the unit is actually covered by the good cause rules, what the renewal process looks like, whether there are any fees, and whether the lease has special terms or restrictions.

The current trending neighborhoods are Hell's Kitchen, Yorkville, Kips Bay, Lenox Hill, and the East Village. Those areas can help you focus your search, but availability changes quickly.
