Rent-stabilized apartments for rent in good cause buildings in Upper East Side

This page shows 324+ apartments for rent in Upper East Side that match the rent-stabilized and good cause building filters. It is meant for renters comparing protected housing options in Manhattan, not every apartment in the neighborhood.

Rent-stabilized points to apartments with regulated rent increases and renewal protections under the applicable rules. You still need to verify the unit’s status, current lease terms, and any exceptions that may apply.

Good cause is a tenant-protection category. It can affect how increases or non-renewals are handled, but it does not replace reading the lease or confirming how the building and unit are covered.

The median rent is $4,851 across this page’s current inventory, so many apartments for rent will cluster around that level or higher. For budgeting, also factor in fees, utilities, deposit, and possible broker costs.

No. This page is not official affordable housing, subsidized housing, NYCHA, HPD, Section 8, or a housing lottery. The filters here are market and tenant-protection categories, so the asking rents are still regular market rents.

This page does not use an affordable filter. On Openigloo, affordable is a market-relative affordability threshold based on the lower end of asking rents within a page’s scope, not a government housing program.

Ask about the exact unit’s protections, any broker fee, deposit, move-in charges, utilities, and renewal terms. For good cause and rent-stabilized buildings, it is also important to confirm how the protections apply to that specific apartment and lease.
