Not necessarily. Even within rent-stabilized buildings, unit eligibility and lease circumstances can differ. Check the unit details on the specific listing and ask the building about renewal and rent-change handling.

Confirm lease terms, move-in requirements (deposits and fees), required documentation, and any screening expectations. If the building offers multiple apartment types, compare those differences before you sign.
