It can limit certain rent-increase and non-renewal conditions, but it doesn’t automatically mean every cost stays the same or that every situation is covered the same way. Review the lease, schedules, and any building fees in writing.

Confirm the lease term and renewal process, the exact rent amount and any recurring fees, required documentation, and any move-in conditions (timing, deposits, and what happens if plans change). Ask for the specific policy language relevant to your unit.

Openigloo collects building-level signals such as reviews and tenant Q&A where available. These are useful for getting context, but they do not replace confirmation of lease terms and current building rules with the property management.

No. “Good cause” is not an income-restricted or subsidized program, and it is not a housing-lottery / affordable-housing program. It’s a tenant-protection regulatory category; you should still review the listing and lease requirements for your specific unit.
