Good cause buildings near High School of World Cultures in NYC

“Good cause” is a tenant-protection filter category that can limit certain rent increases and non-renewals in some situations. Because the details can vary by scenario, you should confirm how it would apply to the exact apartment you’re renting.

This page covers 275+ buildings.

Openigloo building pages compile renter context (including ratings and written feedback from rated buildings), open-data signals, and tenant Q&A so you can compare current terms and building behavior more concretely.

Not automatically. Protections depend on the specific circumstances and lease/renewal context. Before signing, ask the building or agent to explain the renewal terms that would apply to your unit.

Confirm the renewal framework for your lease term, the rent being offered for the unit, and any fees, deposits, or move-in requirements. Also verify the full monthly cost you’d pay after all listed charges.

Yes. Good cause is about tenant protections, not total move-in affordability. Always check the listing and building requirements for deposits, fees, and how utilities or other charges are handled.

Use the tenant Q&A and the details on each building page, then ask for written confirmation of any regulatory or renewal-related terms for the specific apartment you plan to rent.
