294 Cambridge St, Apt 1, Fall River, MA 02721

Rent is $1,595 a month at 294 Cambridge Street, Unit 1, in Niagara. Water and sewer stay on the landlord. You open electricity with National Grid (800-322-3223) and natural gas, heat, and hot water with Liberty Utilities (1-800-544-4944), plus cable. Forced-hot-air heat and hot water ride that Liberty bill, so winter gas sits on top of rent. There is no broker fee and no application fee.

The security deposit is $1,595, one month of rent. 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. Unit 1 collects first month plus that one-month deposit and sets last month's rent at $0, which stays inside the statute on this Niagara first-floor unit.

Keys cost $3,190: $1,595 for the first month and $1,595 for the deposit. Last month is $0. Fortified does not charge an application fee. Start a National Grid electric account and a Liberty Utilities gas account before move-in — heat and hot water are on your gas bill at this 800-square-foot first-floor two-bedroom. That two-check total is the full signing figure.

Unit 1 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 $1,595. If a voucher office or employer needs a longer written term, bring that up when you tour with Fortified Realty Group.

Unit 1 is a 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom apartment of about 800 square feet on the first floor of a three-unit building at 294 Cambridge Street. There are no stairs between the curb and your door for furniture or groceries. Wash days still mean a trip down to the basement washer and dryer. You get two real bedrooms, a kitchen, living space, and one full bath — not a one-bedroom with a partition.

No. Unit 1 has no off-street parking. You use curb spaces on Cambridge Street and the nearby Niagara streets off Plymouth Avenue and Pleasant Street. The City of Fall River does not sell a citywide residential permit on most of these blocks, so you skip a sticker, but spots turn over by the hour and posted winter snow-emergency rules still apply. Come home earlier if you want a space nearer the first-floor entry.

Yes, on a case-by-case basis — the landlord reviews each animal. 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 washer or dryer inside the apartment. A washer and dryer sit in the basement of 294 Cambridge Street for tenant use, so everyday loads stay on site instead of a laundromat run. That still means stairs from this first-floor unit down to the basement machines. Confirm how the three households share access when you tour, and plan wash days around that setup.

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, heat, and hot water go through Liberty Utilities at 1-800-544-4944, with gas emergencies at 1-800-936-7000. Cable is on you. Those bills sit on top of the $1,595 rent through a Fall River winter on forced-hot-air gas.

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, not National Grid and not Eversource. Hot water is also tenant-paid on that Liberty bill. Cooling is window AC only; this three-family has no central air. Budget a higher Liberty bill December through March and a National Grid bump when the window unit runs on the first floor.

The kitchen includes a refrigerator and a stove supplied with the unit. There is no in-unit washer or dryer — a washer and dryer sit in the basement for tenant use. Check the refrigerator and stove when you tour this 800-square-foot first-floor apartment so you know their condition before the $3,190 move-in at 294 Cambridge Street, Unit 1.

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 $1,595 rent works for your program before you apply for Unit 1.

After you tour the first-floor unit, 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 street-only parking, basement laundry, and any pet request first. Questions on screening go to (508) 671-7228.
