*longing sigh* Maybe someday I'll be able to afford to move out of my 3rd floor dump...

Aren't Mass apartments supposed to come with a fridge? I'm just curious because when I lived in Cali apartments never came with them, but in Mass I've never seen one that didn't.
Anyone know?

I think they are technically only required to provide hook-ups for one:

KITCHENS: The landlord must provide within the kitchen a sink of sufficient size and capacity for washing dishes and kitchen utensils, a stove and oven in good repair (except when a written lease agreement requires the tenant to provide his/her own stove and oven), and space and proper facilities for the installation of a refrigerator. NOTE: The refrigerator does not have to be provided.

I always thought so, but we had to buy a fridge when we moved in, so I thought I would warn people.

Wheee! My apartment is listed! Moving!

Landlords are not required to provide refrigerators. However, if there is a refrigerator owned by the landlord in the apartment, they are required to keep the refrigerator in working order.
