25 Palmer St, Apt 2S, Fall River, MA 02724

Rent is $2,600 a month at 25 Palmer Street, Unit 2S, in Father Kelly. Water and sewer stay on the landlord. You open electricity with National Grid (800-322-3223) and natural gas with Liberty Utilities (1-800-544-4944). Heat is gas forced hot air on that Liberty bill, so winter gas sits on top of rent. There is no broker fee and no application fee.

The security deposit is $0 — nothing is held in escrow at signing. Under M.G.L. c.186 §15B, a Massachusetts landlord may collect first month, last month, a deposit no larger than one month's rent, and the actual cost of a new lock and key. This listing collects first and last month and skips the deposit, which stays inside that statute on this Father Kelly four-bedroom.

Keys cost $5,200: $2,600 for the first month and $2,600 for last month. The security deposit is $0. Fortified does not charge an application fee. Start a National Grid electric account and a Liberty Utilities gas account before you carry furniture up one flight — forced-hot-air heat runs on your gas bill at this 1,350-square-foot second-floor four-bedroom.

Unit 2S is a Tenant At Will (TAW) tenancy — month to month, not a 12-month lock. Either side ends it with written notice under M.G.L. c.186 §12: one full rental period or 30 days, whichever is longer. Rent stays $2,600. If a voucher office or employer needs a longer written term, bring that up when you tour with Fortified Realty Group.

Unit 2S is a 4-bedroom, 1-bathroom apartment of about 1,350 square feet on the second floor of a four-unit building at 25 Palmer Street. One flight of stairs sits between the entry and your door. You get four real bedrooms, a kitchen, living space, and one full bath — not a three-bedroom stretched with a den. Wash days are off site until the basement coin room opens.

Yes. The unit includes one assigned off-street parking space. Confirm the stall marking and how to enter the lot when you tour this four-unit Palmer Street building. A second car uses curb parking on Palmer Street and nearby Father Kelly blocks off South Main Street, subject to City of Fall River winter snow-emergency rules. One assigned space is a real advantage on these South End streets.

Yes, with a caveat: pets are allowed, negotiable upon approval. Put breed, weight, age, vaccination records, and rental history on the application so Fortified can send the request to the owner. A documented service or assistance animal is a reasonable-accommodation question under M.G.L. c.151B and federal fair housing rules, not a household-pet ask.

There is no in-unit washer or dryer, and the basement coin-op room is not open yet. The listing facts state that room is being built and will be available in 2 to 3 months. Until then, the closest wash stop is K & S Laundromat at 1001 South Main Street, about three-tenths of a mile northeast, with card-operated machines and staff on site. Laundromax at 321 Rhode Island Avenue is about seven-tenths of a mile southeast for weekend hours.

The landlord pays water and sewer. You open electricity with National Grid, Massachusetts Electric Company, at 800-322-3223 (outages 1-800-465-1212). Natural gas goes through Liberty Utilities at 1-800-544-4944, with gas emergencies at 1-800-936-7000. Heat is gas forced hot air on that Liberty account — Fall River gas is not National Grid and not Eversource. Those bills sit on top of the $2,600 rent through a Fall River winter.

Heat is gas-fired forced hot air through ducts and vents, on a Liberty Utilities account (1-800-544-4944) — Fall River's gas company. Cooling is window AC only; this four-unit building has no central air. Budget a higher Liberty bill December through March when the furnace runs, and a National Grid bump when the window unit runs on the second floor.

The kitchen includes a refrigerator, stove, and microwave supplied with the unit. There is no in-unit washer or dryer. Confirm at your tour whether the stove runs on your Liberty Utilities gas account. Check the refrigerator, stove, and microwave so you know their condition before the $5,200 move-in at 25 Palmer Street, Unit 2S.

Yes. Source of income is a protected class in Massachusetts under M.G.L. c.151B, so Housing Choice Section 8 vouchers, the Massachusetts Rental Voucher Program (MRVP), VASH, and RAFT assistance are accepted on the same terms as market-rate applicants. Bring your payment standard and voucher packet to the tour so Fortified can confirm the $2,600 rent works for your program before you apply for Unit 2S.

After you tour the second-floor four-bedroom, Fortified screens the application for credit, income, rental history, and references, using the same Massachusetts fair-housing rules for every applicant, including M.G.L. c.151B source-of-income protections. Fortified charges no application fee and no broker fee. Confirm the stairs, assigned space, off-site laundry plan, and any pet request first. Questions on screening go to (508) 671-7228.

Call Fortified at (508) 671-7228 for the current disclosure packet before you sign, especially if a child under six will live on this second floor.
