About this rental
This is a 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom first-floor apartment at 139 Oliver Street, Apt 1, in the South End of Fall River, running about 1,100 square feet with three real bedrooms, a kitchen, and a living room. It is one of six units in the building, and the ground-floor location means no stairs to climb with groceries or furniture.

Heat is oil through baseboard or radiator, cooling is by window AC, and the kitchen comes with a refrigerator and stove. Parking is unassigned and first come, first served, there is no laundry in the building, and no pets are allowed on this unit.
Move-in is $3,580 total — first month's rent of $1,790 plus a $1,790 security deposit, with no last month's rent and no broker fee. The unit is offered as a Tenant At Will (month-to-month) agreement.

Read the full listing disclosures →The neighborhood — South End
139 Oliver Street sits in the South End of Fall River, a residential neighborhood of two- and three-family homes between South Main Street and the historic mill district. For everyday errands, Sam's Bakery at 256 Flint Street is a neighborhood institution about a mile away — a 4.8 rating across 124 Tripadvisor reviews, with regulars calling out the Lebanese meat and spinach pies that sell out on weekend mornings. The Stop & Shop at 501 Rodman Street is roughly a third of a mile out for full grocery runs and has an in-store pharmacy, and because this unit has no laundry, Laundromax at 321 Rhode Island Avenue is the closest wash option about half a mile south, open 24 hours on weekends with large free-use dryers that Google reviewers single out.
Saint Anne's Hospital at 795 Middle Street is under a mile away for care. Route 24 and Interstate 195 are both minutes out, putting Providence around 25 minutes west and Boston roughly an hour north via Route 24 to I-93. The Fall River Depot commuter rail station at 825 Davol Street, which opened in March 2025 on the Fall River/New Bedford Line, is about a mile north for the train into Boston.

Before you apply
What is the rent and what's included at 139 Oliver Street, Apt 1?
Rent is $1,790 per month, with water and sewer paid by the landlord and built into that figure. The tenant pays electricity, oil, gas, heat, hot water, cable, and internet. Electricity in Fall River runs over National Grid's wires, and any natural gas is delivered by Liberty Utilities. There is no broker fee, so the number you see is the number you commit to each month.
What is the security deposit, and what are the Massachusetts limits?
The security deposit is $1,790, equal to one month's rent. Massachusetts caps move-in charges under M.G.L. c.186 §15B: first month's rent, last month's rent, a security deposit no larger than one month, and the actual cost of a new lock and key are the only amounts a landlord may collect. This unit takes first month plus the one-month deposit and skips last month entirely.
What is the total cost to move in?
You move in for $3,580: first month's rent of $1,790 and a matching $1,790 security deposit. There is no last month's rent on this listing and no broker fee. That two-payment structure keeps the upfront cash lower than the three- and four-month asks common on other Fall River three-bedrooms, where last month and a broker fee would push the figure past $5,000.
What kind of lease comes with this apartment?
The apartment is offered as a Tenant At Will (TAW) agreement, which is month-to-month rather than a fixed one-year lease. The tenancy continues each month until either side gives written notice under M.G.L. c.186 §12, generally one full rental period or 30 days. Rent stays at $1,790 monthly. If you would prefer a longer fixed term, bring it up at your tour so the owner can weigh it.
How many bedrooms and bathrooms does the unit have?
This is a true 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom apartment of roughly 1,100 square feet, all on the first floor and one of six units in the building. The layout gives you three separate bedrooms plus a kitchen and living room, not a smaller unit padded with a den. The ground-floor entry means no staircases to manage on move-in day or with everyday trips.
How does parking work at 139 Oliver Street?
Parking is unassigned and first come, first served for the building's tenants. There is no individually deeded space, so spots are shared among the six units. On-street parking is also available along Oliver Street and nearby South End blocks, subject to City of Fall River rules, including posted winter snow-emergency restrictions during the New England months. Arriving home earlier in the evening improves your odds of a closer spot.
Are pets allowed in this apartment?
No. Pets are not allowed at 139 Oliver Street, Apt 1, under the owner's policy, and that covers the unit and the building's common areas. If you rely on a service animal or an assistance animal as a reasonable accommodation, that request is handled separately under fair housing law rather than treated as a pet, and you can raise it when you apply.
Is there laundry in the unit or building?
No. This unit has no in-unit laundry, and the six-unit building has no shared machines. The closest laundromat is Laundromax at 321 Rhode Island Avenue, about half a mile south and open 24 hours on weekends with large dryers. Laundry World at 208 New Boston Road is a second option across the city. Build a laundromat run or a wash-and-fold service into your routine here.
Who pays which utilities here?
The landlord pays water and sewer. The tenant pays electricity, oil, gas, heat, hot water, cable, and internet. Electricity is delivered by National Grid (800-322-3223) and any natural gas by Liberty Utilities (1-800-544-4944). Heating oil is bought from a local Fall River fuel dealer, not a regulated utility, so you pick the supplier. Cable and internet come from a provider such as Xfinity, arranged by you.
How is the apartment heated and cooled?
Heat is oil-fired, delivered through baseboard or radiator units, so you fill an oil tank through a local fuel dealer rather than running a gas heating account. Cooling is by window AC; there is no central air. Because heat is oil and tenant-paid, budget for oil deliveries through the colder South Coast months rather than assuming a flat all-in monthly cost.
What appliances are included?
The kitchen comes with a refrigerator and a stove, both provided with the unit. There is no dishwasher, microwave, or in-unit washer and dryer, and the building has no laundry hookups. You supply your own window AC units and any small kitchen appliances you want beyond the fridge and stove. Check the condition of both appliances during your tour so nothing surprises you after move-in.
Do you accept Section 8 or other housing vouchers?
Yes. Massachusetts treats source of income as a protected class under M.G.L. c.151B, so Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers, the Massachusetts Rental Voucher Program, VASH, and RAFT assistance are accepted on this apartment. Voucher holders are screened on the same standards as every other applicant. Bring your voucher paperwork to the tour so the unit can be confirmed against your program's payment standard quickly.
What does the application and screening process involve?
After you tour the unit, you submit a rental application that is reviewed for credit, income, rental history, and references, with each applicant judged on the same standards under Massachusetts fair housing law, including the source-of-income protections in M.G.L. c.151B. The quickest route is to schedule a tour, see the apartment in person, then apply if 139 Oliver Street fits your budget. Call (508) 671-7228 with questions.
Who manages this apartment?
Fortified Realty Group LLC manages this unit. Fortified is a licensed Massachusetts real estate brokerage working across Fall River, New Bedford, and the wider South Coast, and it handles leasing, tours, maintenance coordination, and tenant communication in house. That means you deal with a responsive professional manager instead of an absentee owner. Questions about this South End three-bedroom can go to the Fortified office at (508) 671-7228.
Who handles maintenance and repairs?
Repair and maintenance requests run through Fortified Realty Group at (508) 671-7228. After you move in, you report any issue straight to Fortified, which dispatches licensed vendors and follows each ticket through to completion. For a heat, water, or electrical emergency, call that office line first so the problem is documented and routed to the correct trade without delay.
What is the lead paint status of this apartment?
The lead paint status for 139 Oliver Street, Apt 1, is recorded as unknown. M.G.L. c.111 §197 and the Massachusetts Lead Law require owners of pre-1978 housing to disclose any known lead information and hand over the state tenant lead notification at signing. Request the current lead disclosure from Fortified at (508) 671-7228 before you sign, particularly if a child under six will live in the unit.
What is the South End neighborhood like, and how is the commute?
The South End is a lived-in residential section of Fall River between South Main Street and the old mill district, full of two- and three-family homes. Saint Anne's Hospital at 795 Middle Street is under a mile away. Route 24 and I-195 are minutes out, placing Providence near 25 minutes west, while the Fall River Depot commuter rail station at 825 Davol Street sits about a mile north for the Boston train.
What's nearby for everyday errands?
Close to 139 Oliver Street, Sam's Bakery at 256 Flint Street draws crowds for its Lebanese meat and spinach pies, the Stop & Shop at 501 Rodman Street covers full grocery runs and has a pharmacy about a third of a mile away, and Laundromax at 321 Rhode Island Avenue is the nearest laundromat.
