This page is not using Openigloo’s affordable filter. Good cause is a separate category. For affordable pages, Openigloo uses a market-relative affordability threshold based on the 25th percentile of gross rents in the page’s scope, not an official housing program.

Confirm the rent, whether the building actually qualifies as good cause, the lease length, renewal terms, broker fee, security deposit, utilities, and any building-specific move-in requirements.
