I would be willing to bet that the "no frig" thing is the result of some stupid California environmental regulation that landlords (i.e., business owners) are subject to, but individuals are not. Rather than deal with it, they just choose not to supply refrigerators anymore.

That is a guess -- but it's the only reason I can think of for a landlord not to supply a refrigerator.

i don't think it's an environmental concern. a theory i have heard is that it makes a tenant more likely to stay.

and that live4lust doesn't have 2 worry about it anymore!
