Not necessarily. Buildings can have a mix of apartment types and lease situations. Before applying, confirm the specific unit you want is rent-stabilized and ask for the current lease terms.

Ask about renewal status, how and when increases are applied, and whether any paperwork or timelines could affect your move-in date. Also confirm the total monthly cost for the unit, including items that may not be reflected in the asking rent.

Start with what the building requires (ID, income/tenant screening materials, references, and any rent-stabilized-specific forms if applicable). Then confirm turnaround times for approval and when you can sign, so you don’t lose the unit while waiting on documentation.
