What does “good cause” mean on this page?

“Good cause” is a tenant-protection category. It’s used to flag buildings that are covered by rules that limit certain rent increases and non-renewals. Always verify the application to your specific lease and renewal situation with the building management.

Do I still need to confirm move-in costs beyond the asking rent?

Yes. Even with the right building protections, the total monthly and move-in cost can include deposits, broker fees (if applicable), utilities setup, and any building-required charges. Ask for a complete fee breakdown before you apply.

What should I ask about renewals and rent changes before I sign?

Ask for the renewal process, how/when rent adjustments are communicated, what documentation is required, and whether any exceptions or building-specific rules apply. Get answers in writing if possible.

Are “good cause” protections the same as income-restricted or subsidized housing?
