What does “good cause” mean on this Openigloo page?

“Good cause” is a tenant-protection filter category. It focuses on protections around certain rent increase patterns and non-renewal scenarios, but you should still confirm the exact terms of any lease offer with the building or managing agent.

What does “near the 5 train” include here?

It’s a location filter for the Upper East Side focused on proximity to the 5 train. Distances and walking routes can differ by building block, so confirm your route and typical travel time before applying.

How many buildings match this search right now?

This page shows 95+ eligible buildings in the Upper East Side under the combined 5-train + good-cause filters (as of 2026-07-07).

Does the “good cause” filter guarantee a specific rent level?

No. Tenant-protection categories don’t mean the asking rent will be the same across buildings. You should still compare the current asking rent and the lease terms being offered for the specific unit.

What should I verify before signing a lease?

Confirm move-in date and unit availability, ask about deposits/fees and which utilities (if any) are included, and get written clarity on any building rules that could affect daily life (pets, packages, laundry access, and maintenance expectations).

Is this income-restricted or subsidized housing?

No. This filter is not income-restricted, not subsidized, not NYCHA, not HPD, and not a Section 8 or housing-lottery program. It’s about a tenant-protection category, not affordability-program eligibility.

Which neighborhoods are trending in this scope, and how many buildings are in each?
