94 Buffinton St, Apt 3, Fall River, MA 02721

Rent is $1,390 per month, and the landlord pays water and sewer, so neither lands as a separate quarterly city bill. The tenant pays electricity, gas, heat, hot water, cable, and internet. In Fall River, electricity is delivered by National Grid (800-322-3223) and natural gas by Liberty Utilities (1-800-544-4944). There is no broker fee, so the sticker rent is what you commit to each month.

No security deposit is required on this unit. Under M.G.L. c.186 §15B, a Massachusetts landlord may collect first month's rent, last month's rent, a security deposit no greater than one month, and the actual cost of a new lock and key. This listing skips the deposit entirely and collects first and last month's rent instead, which keeps a chunk of upfront cash off the table at signing.

Move-in totals $2,780: first month's rent of $1,390 plus last month's rent of $1,390. There is no security deposit and no broker fee on this listing. That two-payment structure keeps the upfront cash below the three- and four-month asks common on other Fall River two-bedrooms, where a deposit and a broker fee would push the figure past $4,000.

The apartment is offered as a Tenant At Will (TAW) agreement, which runs month-to-month rather than a fixed one-year lease. The tenancy renews each month until either party gives written notice under M.G.L. c.186 §12, generally one full rental period or 30 days. Rent holds at $1,390 monthly. If you want a longer fixed term, raise it at your tour and the owner can talk it through.

This is a 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom apartment on the third floor, one of three units in the building. The layout includes two real bedrooms plus a kitchen and living room, not a one-bedroom stretched with a bonus room. Being the top-floor unit means no upstairs neighbors and the quieter footing that comes with the third floor in a small three-family building.

There is no off-street parking with this unit. Parking is on the street only, along Buffinton Street and the surrounding Niagara blocks. Fall River does not run a citywide residential permit program on most of these streets, so on-street parking is open and no permit purchase is required, though availability shifts with the time of day and posted winter snow-emergency rules.

No. Pets are not allowed at 94 Buffinton Street, Unit 3, 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 during the application process.

No. There is no in-unit laundry and no shared laundry in this three-unit building. The nearest laundromat is Laundromax at 321 Rhode Island Avenue, a short drive away and open 24 hours on weekends with large dryers. Plan for a laundromat run or a wash-and-fold service while living here, or budget for one if you would rather not travel for laundry.

The landlord pays water and sewer. The tenant pays electricity, gas, heat, hot water, cable, and internet. In Fall River, electric service is delivered by National Grid (800-322-3223) and natural gas by Liberty Utilities (1-800-544-4944). Cable and internet are arranged by the tenant with a provider such as Xfinity. Budget for those accounts on top of the $1,390 rent each month.

Heat is gas, delivered through baseboard or radiator units, and the gas account is in the tenant's name through Liberty Utilities (1-800-544-4944), Fall River's natural gas provider. Cooling is by window AC unit; there is no central air. Because heat and hot water are tenant-paid here, factor your winter gas usage into the monthly budget rather than assuming a flat all-in number through the colder South Coast stretch.

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 included, and no laundry hookups in this building. You supply your own window AC unit and any small kitchen appliances beyond the fridge and stove. Confirm the condition of the refrigerator and stove during your tour so there are no surprises after move-in.

Yes. Source of income is a protected class in Massachusetts 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 unit. Voucher holders are screened on the same standards as every other applicant. Bring your voucher paperwork to the tour so the apartment can be checked against your program's payment standard quickly.

After touring the unit, you submit a rental application reviewed for credit, income, rental history, and references, with every applicant evaluated on the same standards under Massachusetts fair housing law, including the source-of-income protections in M.G.L. c.151B. The fastest path is to schedule a tour, see the apartment in person, then apply if 94 Buffinton Street fits your budget. Call (508) 671-7228 with any questions.
