No. The filter indicates a protection category, but actual outcomes can depend on the lease facts and how policies are applied. Confirm the specific renewal and rent-change language in your draft lease.

Ask for the renewal terms in writing, how rent changes are calculated for your unit type, what happens if you don’t renew, and the process/timeline for renewal notices and documentation.

They’re helpful context, but you should still verify with the building. Use Openigloo feedback to shortlist, then confirm details directly with management for your exact unit and lease terms.

Yes. Even with protections like “good cause,” your full monthly and move-in cost still depends on items like broker fees, security deposit requirements, and any utility or building charges. Ask for a complete cost breakdown.

This page is about the “good cause” renter-protection filter for market-rate leases, not an income-restricted, subsidized, NYCHA, HPD, or Section 8 / housing-lottery affordable-housing program. If you’re comparing, ask the building whether any specific program restrictions apply to the unit you’re considering.
