2-bedroom apartments in good cause buildings for rent near R Train in Kips Bay, Manhattan

Good cause refers to tenant-protection buildings, not a location or price tier. It can affect rent increases and renewal rights, so confirm the building’s status and the lease terms before you apply.

There are 46+ 2-bedroom apartments for rent on this page, with a median rent of $7,550.

Use the median rent of $7,550 as a planning point, then add utilities, move-in costs, deposits, and any broker fee. In a 2-bedroom, the bedroom split and common-space layout can change what each renter actually pays.

Ask whether the building is truly good cause, whether the unit has any extra fees, what the deposit is, and whether the lease has renewal or occupancy limits that affect two roommates.
