Studio apartments in good cause buildings for rent near SIM30 Sunnyside - Midtown Manhattan Express in Turtle Bay, Manhattan

It refers to apartments in buildings that fall under good cause tenant protections. That can affect how rent increases or non-renewals are handled, but it does not change the apartment’s asking rent or guarantee the same terms in every lease.

There are 16+ studio apartments for rent in this scope right now. Because the count is current inventory, it can change as units are rented or added.

The median rent is $3,666. Use that as a reference point when comparing individual studios, especially if you are deciding whether the price fits your budget.

No. Openigloo’s good cause filter is about tenant protections, not official affordable housing. These are market-rate apartments for rent, so the asking rent, lease terms, and building policies still set the real cost and conditions.

Good cause is a legal tenant-protection category. It does not mean the apartment is affordable or below a set price cap, and it does not indicate subsidized housing or any government program.

Check the full monthly cost, including broker fee, deposit, utilities, and any building fees. Also ask about renewal terms, move-in rules, and whether the landlord has any screening requirements beyond standard income and credit checks.

With studios, layout matters as much as rent. Look at how the sleeping area is separated, whether the kitchen is workable, how much storage you get, and whether the single bathroom layout fits your routine.
