550 Maple St, Apt 3F, Fall River, MA 02720

Rent is $1,550 per month for this first-floor Highlands one-bedroom. The owner covers water, sewer, electricity, gas, heat, and hot water, so you never open a National Grid electric account or a Liberty Utilities gas account for Unit 3F. Cable and internet are the only tenant bills. That package keeps winter costs pinned near the sticker rent. Fortified Realty Group lists the unit with no broker fee.

No security deposit dollar amount appears on this Fortified Remarketing facts sheet. Signing collects first month's rent of $1,550 and last month's rent of $1,550. Under Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 186 Section 15B, a landlord may charge at most first month, last month, a deposit capped at one month's rent, and the actual cost of a new lock and key. Ask Fortified to confirm the final deposit line before you execute the Tenant At Will agreement.

Plan on $3,100 at signing: $1,550 first month plus $1,550 last month. Broker fee is $0 and Fortified charges no application fee. Because electric, gas, heat, and hot water stay with the landlord, you skip the utility-deposit dance with National Grid and Liberty Utilities on day one. That two-check total is the stated up-front cost for this 500-square-foot Maple Street apartment.

Unit 3F is offered as a Tenant At Will (TAW) tenancy — month-to-month under Massachusetts law, not a locked 12-month lease. Either side ends the arrangement with proper written notice under M.G.L. c.186 §12, generally one full rental period or 30 days. Monthly rent stays $1,550 with the same six landlord-paid utilities. Raise a fixed-term need during your Fortified tour if a voucher or employer requires it.

Unit 3F is a 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom apartment of about 500 square feet on the first floor of a six-unit building at 550 Maple Street, Fall River 02720. Ground-floor access means no stairs between the curb and your door for furniture, groceries, or deliveries. The plan is one true bedroom plus kitchen, living space, and a full bath — not a studio with a divider.

No. Unit 3F has no off-street parking — you park on the street along Maple Street and nearby Highlands blocks. Most of these residential streets do not require a Fall River resident permit, so curb spaces are open, but they fill by evening and follow posted snow-emergency rules. Factor street parking into guest visits and move-in truck timing when you tour.

No. Pets are not allowed at 550 Maple Street, Unit 3F — no dogs, cats, or other animals in the apartment or the six-unit building's common areas. That no-pets rule is firm on this Highlands listing. Documented service or assistance animals are a fair-housing reasonable accommodation under M.G.L. c.151B, not a pet exception — raise that during the Fortified application so it is reviewed correctly.

There is no washer, dryer, hookups, or shared laundry room in this six-unit building. From Maple Street, Mint Laundromat at 101 President Avenue is about seven-tenths of a mile north, with coin- and card-operated machines plus wash-and-fold. Laundry World at 208 New Boston Road is a farther North End backup. Budget a regular laundromat trip before you commit to Unit 3F.

Landlord: water, sewer, electricity, gas, heat, and hot water. Tenant: cable and internet only — Comcast Xfinity and Verizon Fios both serve Fall River 02720. You will not start National Grid or Liberty Utilities accounts for this unit. That is why the $1,550 rent reads as an all-in figure aside from your TV and broadband bills.

Heat runs on gas baseboard or radiator, and the landlord pays the gas and heat as part of rent — no Liberty Utilities heating bill lands on the tenant. Hot water is landlord-paid as well. Cooling is window air conditioner only; the building has no central air. Summer comfort depends on a window unit you supply, while the owner's electric meter covers building power under the all-in rent.

A refrigerator and a stove come with the apartment. No dishwasher, microwave, or laundry machines are included, and the building has no laundry hookups. Bring your own window AC and any countertop appliances beyond the fridge and stove. Check the refrigerator and stove condition in person at 550 Maple Street before move-in day.

Yes. Massachusetts treats source of income as a protected class under M.G.L. c.151B, so Housing Choice Section 8, MRVP, VASH, and RAFT are accepted on the same screening path as market applicants. At $1,550 with water through heat included, many Fall River payment standards clear more easily than rent-plus-utilities listings. Bring voucher paperwork to the tour so Fortified can match rent to your program.

Tour Unit 3F first, then submit a Fortified rental application covering credit, income, rental history, and references under Massachusetts fair housing rules, including M.G.L. c.151B source-of-income protections. No application fee and no broker fee. Confirm street parking, off-site laundry, and the no-pet rule fit your household before you apply.
