Two bedroom rentals near you in Ottawa: the live MLS feed on Home613 tracks houses, townhomes, and apartments with 2 bedrooms across every Ottawa neighbourhood. Whether you are renting before you buy, downsizing, or relocating, this page explains what the 2 bedroom rental market looks like — and where to search.
What a 2 Bedroom Rental Costs in Ottawa
Two bedroom rentals in Ottawa span every property type. Apartments and condos run $2,100–$3,400 depending on the building and neighbourhood. Townhomes and semi-detached houses rent for $2,400–$3,200, with detached homes starting around $2,800 in the suburbs. The city-wide median across all property types sits near $2,600 per month.
The variables that move the price most: parking (add $150–$250 downtown), utilities (water often included, hydro almost never), and transit access (anything near an LRT station carries a premium).
Where 2 Bedroom Rentals Actually Are
Apartment inventory concentrates in Centretown and downtown — the K1P/K1R/K2P postal zones carry the deepest supply of 2 bedroom units. Townhome and house rentals distribute across the suburbs: Kanata, Barrhaven, and Orleans hold most of the ground-level inventory, with newer subdivisions offering the most square footage per dollar.

2 Bedroom vs. 1 Bedroom: The Real Difference
A second bedroom typically adds $300–$600 per month in Ottawa. What it also adds: a roommate split (halving your cost), a home office, or space for a child. If you are weighing a 1 bedroom plus den against a true 2 bedroom, the den usually saves $150–$200 but lacks a window and closet — many landlords and bylaws do not count a den as a bedroom.

What credit score do I need to rent in Ottawa?
Most landlords look for evidence of stable income rather than a specific score. A common benchmark is gross monthly income at 2.5–3x the rent. Larger building management companies run formal credit checks; private landlords are often more flexible with strong references.
Can I break a lease early in Ottawa?
Ontario leases are binding for the full term. In practice: subletting with landlord consent, an N11 mutual termination, or assignment to a new tenant are the exits. A landlord cannot unreasonably refuse a sublet in a standard Ontario lease.
Is rent cheaper in the winter?
Yes, modestly. December through February shows the softest demand in most Ottawa markets. If your timing is flexible, units that listed in November often accept move-in incentives by January.
