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

Rent is $1,695 per month at 294 Cambridge Street, Unit 1, in Niagara. The landlord pays water and sewer. You pay electricity through National Grid (800-322-3223), natural gas through Liberty Utilities (1-800-544-4944), plus heat, hot water, and cable. Forced-hot-air heat and hot water run on that Liberty account, so winter gas sits on top of rent. There is no broker fee and no application fee.

The security deposit is $1,695, matching 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. This Niagara unit takes first month plus that one-month deposit and lists last month's rent at $0, which stays inside the statute.

Plan on $3,390 at signing: $1,695 first month plus the $1,695 security deposit. Last month's rent is $0. Fortified charges no application fee. Open a National Grid electric account and a Liberty Utilities gas account before move-in, because heat and hot water are on your gas bill. That two-check total starts this 800-square-foot first-floor two-bedroom.

Unit 1 rents as a Tenant At Will (TAW) tenancy — month to month, not a locked 12-month lease. Either side ends it with proper written notice under M.G.L. c.186 §12, which is one full rental period or 30 days, whichever is longer. Monthly rent stays $1,695. If a voucher administrator or employer needs a longer written term, raise that 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. The layout is two real bedrooms plus a kitchen, living area, and one full bath — not a one-bedroom stretched with a den.

No. There is no off-street parking with Unit 1. You park on the street along Cambridge Street and the surrounding Niagara blocks off Plymouth Avenue and Pleasant Street. The City of Fall River does not run a citywide residential permit program on most of these streets, so you do not buy a sticker, but curb space changes by hour and posted winter snow-emergency rules still apply. Arrive earlier in the evening if you want a spot closer to the first-floor entry.

Yes, with a caveat: pets are allowed on a case-by-case basis at the landlord's discretion. Submit breed, weight, age, vaccination records, and rental history with the application so Fortified can take the request to the owner. That household-pet path is separate from a documented service or assistance animal, which is reviewed as a reasonable accommodation under M.G.L. c.151B and federal fair housing rules.

There is no washer or dryer inside the apartment. A washer and dryer are in the basement of 294 Cambridge Street for tenant use, so you do not drive to a laundromat for everyday loads. That still means a stair trip from this first-floor unit down to the basement machines. Confirm how access is shared in this three-unit building 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 run through Liberty Utilities at 1-800-544-4944, with gas emergencies at 1-800-936-7000. Cable is on you. Those accounts sit on top of the $1,695 rent, especially through a Fall River winter on forced-hot-air gas.

Heat is gas-fired forced hot air through ducts and vents, and the gas account is in your name with Liberty Utilities (1-800-544-4944), Fall River's natural gas company — not National Grid and not Eversource. Hot water is also tenant-paid on that Liberty bill. Cooling is window AC only; there is no central air in this three-family. 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. Inspect the refrigerator and stove during your tour of this 800-square-foot first-floor apartment so you know their condition before the $3,390 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 $1,695 rent works for your program before you apply for Unit 1.

After you walk Unit 1, submit a rental application that Fortified reviews for credit, income, rental history, and references under Massachusetts fair housing standards, including source-of-income protections in M.G.L. c.151B. There is no application fee and no broker fee. See the first-floor layout, street-only parking, basement laundry, and any pet request first, then apply if the $1,695 rent and $3,390 move-in fit.
