Gated House in Midtown! is listed at $1,500/month for a furnished house with 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. It's listed as under 5 minutes by car from campus and runs on a Biannual lease (6 months), which is a shorter commitment than most. The listed timing is 1/1/2026, a date that has already passed, so ask the owner what start dates are open now. The listing was posted by the property owner.

FULLY FURNISHED 2 BEDROOM HOUSE is also listed at $1,500/month. It's a furnished house with 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, listed as 5 to 10 minutes by car from campus. The lease is a Year Lease (12 Months), and the listed timing is 8/1/2026. Since that date is behind us, confirm the current move-in date with the owner who posted it.

Historic 2/3 bedroom 2 bath apartment is the highest-priced listing here at $2,400/month. It's listed as a duplex with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, furnished, and 5 to 10 minutes by car from campus. The lease is a Year Lease (12 Months), with timing listed as "August to July 2027." Two full bathrooms can make sharing much easier, so it's worth weighing that against the higher rent. It was posted by the property owner.

🚨2x2 District on 5th🚨 is the lowest-priced option at $1,189/month. It has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, it's furnished, and it's listed as under 5 minutes by car from campus. The lease is a Year Lease (12 Months), and the timing reads "August to July 2027." Ask the lister to confirm the exact dates and whether you'd be signing a new lease or taking over an existing one.

Splitting a 2 bedroom: how the numbers work

The listed rents run from $1,189/month to $2,400/month. These are the listed monthly rents for the whole place, not per person, since none of these listings are set up to rent by the room. If you split evenly with one roommate, you'd each pay half, but plenty of people adjust the split when one bedroom is bigger or has its own bathroom.

Bathroom count deserves more attention than it usually gets. Three of these listings have 1 bathroom and two have 2 bathrooms. Sharing one bathroom works fine for some people and becomes a daily headache for others, especially when class schedules overlap in the morning.

Because every listing here is furnished, you can skip buying big pieces of furniture. Still, ask what's actually included. Some furnished places cover bedrooms and living space but not kitchen items, and that's easier to plan for before move-in than after.

Drive time is worth a look as well. Two of these listings are under 5 minutes by car from campus and three are 5 to 10 minutes by car. If either of you won't have a car, ask the lister how people usually get to class from the property, and try the route yourselves at the time you'd normally leave for a morning class.

UA 2 bedroom rentals in Tucson: questions to ask before you sign

Before you commit to any of these UA 2 bedroom rentals in Tucson, decide how the lease will be signed. Will both of you be on one lease, or will one person sign and the other pay them? Being on the lease together usually gives both people the same rights and responsibilities, but ask the lister how they prefer to handle it.

Next, talk about lease length. Most listings here use a Year Lease (12 Months), while one uses a Biannual lease (6 months). A shorter lease gives you flexibility if your plans might change after spring, while a longer one locks in your rent for the year. Make sure both of you want the same timeline.

Several listed start dates have already passed, even though the listings show as available. That's common with listings that stay up for a while. Quote the date back to the lister and ask what move-in dates they can offer now, along with the end date you'd be agreeing to.

Ask about the full monthly cost too: which utilities you'd pay, whether internet is included, and how much the deposit is. Then agree with your roommate on how those costs will be split before move-in day.

It's also smart to ask how repairs and maintenance requests are handled. Find out who you contact if something breaks, how quickly issues usually get fixed, and if the furniture is covered the same way as the appliances. Knowing that up front saves both roommates a lot of back-and-forth later in the year.

As for timing, the end of October is a good moment to line up a spring move-in, and a reasonable time to start comparing places for next fall. If one of these looks right, reply to the lister soon, since furnished 2 bedroom places close to campus tend to get attention.

Tips for renting a 2 bedroom with a roommate

• Agree on how rent, utilities and the deposit will be split, and write it down before either of you signs.

• Ask the lister whether both roommates can be on the lease and what happens if one person needs to leave early.

• When a listed start date has already passed, ask which move-in dates are open now and confirm the end date.

• Ask for a list or photos of the furniture that's included so you both know what to bring and what to leave behind.
