No. Rent-stabilized is not the same as income-restricted, subsidized, housing-lottery, NYCHA, HPD, or Section 8 housing. It only describes a rent regulation status, not an official affordable-housing program.

Start with the asking rent, then add fees, utilities, a security deposit, and any broker fee if one applies. In a studio, also think about whether the layout leaves enough room for sleeping, cooking, and storage near your school.

Ask whether the unit is actually rent-stabilized, what the lease term is, whether there are application fees, and whether any move-in costs or required documents will change the upfront total.
