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

This page includes 37 studio apartments for rent on the Upper East Side in Manhattan that are filtered to rent-stabilized apartments in good cause buildings.

Good cause is a tenant-protection category, not a place name. It points to buildings where certain rent increases or non-renewals may be limited, but you still need to check the lease terms for the specific unit.

Rent-stabilized means the apartment is in a regulated category with limits on rent increases and some renewal protections. Always confirm the unit’s status and the current lease terms before applying.

The median rent is $3,122. For a studio, also factor in the cost of the full monthly setup, since the asking rent does not include utilities, deposits, broker fees, or other move-in charges.

No. This page is not for income-restricted, subsidized, housing-lottery, NYCHA, HPD, or Section 8 housing. It is a filter for market-rate apartments with asking rents in a tenant-protection and rent-stabilized scope.

Check fees, deposit requirements, broker fee, lease length, renewal terms, and any building rules that may affect move-in timing or total cost. For studios, also make sure the layout works for sleeping, cooking, and storage.
