Rent-stabilized verified apartments for rent in NYC

It means the page includes apartments for rent that are both marked rent-stabilized and verified on Openigloo. Rent-stabilized refers to regulated rent increases and renewal protections, while verified refers to listing quality on the platform.

There are 2,020 apartments for rent in this NYC-wide scope as of 2026-05-20.

The median rent is $5,068. Use it as a quick benchmark, but compare each apartment's full monthly cost before you apply.

No. Rent-stabilized is a rent-regulation category, not income-restricted housing or a housing program. It can still have market-rate asking rents and standard move-in costs.

Ask about the current legal rent, lease term, renewal rules, application fees, security deposit, broker fee if any, and any building-specific restrictions that may affect move-in costs.

Start with the neighborhoods that have the most apartments for rent in this scope, like Hell's Kitchen, Flatbush, East Village, Yorkville, and Lenox Hill, then compare commute, budget, and building reviews.

No. Verified improves confidence in the apartment info, and rent-stabilized can limit some rent increases, but you may still face deposits, fees, and monthly charges that raise the total cost.
