What does “good cause” mean on this page?

It’s a tenant-protection category used to flag buildings where certain renewal and rent-increase rules can be more restricted. Exact application can vary by situation, so confirm details with the building before you apply.

How should I interpret “near the Q train” for building locations?

Use it as a commute shortcut, then double-check the specific station(s) and your walking route at the times you usually travel. Blocks that look similar on a map can feel different day-to-day.

Does “good cause” guarantee I can renew or block any rent increase?

No. It signals a regulatory/tenant-protection framework, but renewals and rent changes still depend on the case and how rules are applied. Ask management for the exact process and what factors are considered.

What should I confirm before signing a lease for a good cause building?

Confirm the lease term options, renewal timeline, any documented rules for rent changes, and who you contact for maintenance and follow-ups. Also verify any building-specific policies that affect your move-in.

Are there additional costs I should budget for beyond the asking rent?

Yes. Even if the building matches “good cause,” the full monthly cost can include deposit requirements, broker or admin fees, and utilities. Ask for a clear breakdown before you pay anything.

Where does the building information come from?
