1556 North Main St, Apt 11, Fall River, MA 02720

Rent is $2,100 per month, and the landlord pays water, sewer, electricity, heat, and hot water — an unusually full utility package. The tenant covers only cable and internet, set up with a provider such as Xfinity. Because electricity and heat are landlord-paid, your real monthly cost stays close to the sticker price with no separate National Grid or gas bill. There is no broker fee on this North End condo.

The security deposit is $2,100, equal to one month's rent. Under M.G.L. c.186 §15B, a Massachusetts landlord may collect at most first month's rent, last month's rent, a security deposit no larger than one month, and the actual cost of a new lock and key. This unit stays inside that statute, collecting first month, a one-month deposit, and a partial last month of $1,000.

Move-in is $5,200 total: first month's rent of $2,100, a $2,100 security deposit, and $1,000 toward last month's rent. There is no broker fee on this listing. While the upfront figure reflects the higher rent and full deposit, the trade-off is that water, sewer, electricity, heat, and hot water are all landlord-paid, so your ongoing monthly cost beyond rent is just cable and internet.

The unit is offered as a Tenant At Will (TAW) agreement, which runs month-to-month rather than on a fixed one-year lease. The tenancy renews each month until either side gives proper written notice under M.G.L. c.186 §12, generally one full rental period or 30 days. Rent holds at $2,100 monthly. If you would rather lock in a longer fixed term, bring it up at your tour and the owner can weigh it.

Yes. This unit comes with two off-street parking slots, so two vehicles park off the road without competing for curb space along North Main Street. Two dedicated spaces is more than most Fall River rentals offer at any price, which helps if you have two cars in the household or regular visitors. On-street parking is also available nearby, subject to City of Fall River winter snow-emergency rules.

No. Pets are not allowed at 1556 North Main Street, Unit 11, under the owner's policy, and that covers the unit and the common areas of the twelve-unit building. 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.

The unit has in-unit laundry hookups, but no washer or dryer is provided, so you install your own set. Having hookups inside the apartment means you do laundry at home without feeding a coin machine or driving to a laundromat. If you would rather not buy machines, a portable or apartment-size pair fits the hookups. Confirm the hookup type — gas or electric dryer — at your tour before buying a dryer.

The landlord pays water, sewer, electricity, heat, and hot water. The tenant pays only cable and internet, arranged with a provider such as Xfinity. With electricity covered by the landlord, there is no National Grid account in the tenant's name, and with heat and hot water included, there is no separate Liberty Utilities gas bill either. That keeps your monthly budget beyond the $2,100 rent unusually light.

Heat is gas-fired forced hot air, pushed through ducts and vents, and it is paid by the landlord, so there is no gas heating account in the tenant's name. Cooling is central air conditioning, ducted through the same system rather than handled by window units. Because both heat and the electricity that runs the central air are landlord-paid, you get year-round climate control without the seasonal utility swings most apartments carry.

The kitchen comes fully equipped with a refrigerator, stove, microwave, and dishwasher, all provided and installed. A built-in microwave and dishwasher are a step up from the fridge-and-stove setup common in comparable Fall River rentals. There is no washer or dryer included, though the unit has in-unit laundry hookups. Check the condition of all four appliances during your tour so nothing surprises you 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 all accepted on this unit. Voucher holders apply on the same terms and are screened on the same criteria 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 you tour the unit, you submit a rental application that Fortified reviews for credit, income, rental history, and references, with each applicant judged on consistent standards under Massachusetts fair housing law, including the source-of-income protections in M.G.L. c.151B. There is no broker fee on this listing. The quickest route is to schedule a showing first, see the unit, then apply if 1556 North Main Street fits your budget. Call (508) 671-7228 with questions.

The lead paint status for 1556 North Main Street, Unit 11, is not stated on this listing and should be treated as unknown.
