What does good cause mean on this page?

Good cause is a tenant-protection category for buildings, not a neighborhood. It points you to apartments for rent in buildings where certain rent increases or non-renewals may be limited, but you still need to review the lease and building rules.

What is the median rent for this page?

The median rent is $3,183 for the studio apartments for rent shown on this page.

Is this income-restricted, subsidized, or housing-lottery housing?

No. Good cause is not the same as income-restricted, subsidized, or housing-lottery housing. It is a market protection category, so the apartments are still regular market-rate rentals with asking rents, lease terms, and move-in costs you need to review.

What should I confirm before applying to a studio here?

Confirm the exact good cause status, the lease length, renewal terms, broker fee if any, security deposit, utilities, and whether the studio layout works for your sleeping area, kitchen setup, and storage needs.

How do neighborhood and bedroom count affect budget planning here?

Upper East Side is a large rental market with 41 studios on this page, and the median rent of $3,183 gives you one reference point. Studio pricing can move quickly with location, building condition, and amenities, so compare a few units before deciding.
