Studio apartments in good cause buildings for rent near colleges in West Village, Manhattan

Good cause is a tenant-protection category. It points to buildings where certain rent increases or non-renewals may be limited by law. It is not a neighborhood, and it does not guarantee a specific lease outcome.

There are 16+ studio apartments for rent on this page. Because inventory changes quickly, the count is a current minimum snapshot rather than a fixed total.

The median rent is $4,095. Use that as a quick reference point, but the full monthly cost can still be higher once you add fees, utilities, deposit, or broker charges.

No. Good cause is a tenant-protection category, not income-restricted, subsidized, or housing-lottery housing. These are market-rate apartments for rent with legal protections that may affect rent increases or renewal terms.

Openigloo applies the good cause status as a building-level tenant-protection category, then shows apartments for rent that match this scope. It does not change the asking rent or make a unit officially affordable housing.

Confirm the lease term, renewal rules, security deposit, broker fee if any, and whether utilities are included. For studios, also check the actual layout so you know how the sleeping area, kitchen, and storage will work in daily use.
