We just bought a new fridge yesterday. We lugged our old one around between 5 different properties - 20 years old, still going strong.
The big problem is that fridges are not a standard size, and hence the spaces in kitchens are not a standard size. So there's a good chance when you move it won't fit (ours only worked because it's so small - which also made moving it not too onerous). It's a much better result for everyone if the apartment/house has a fridge that perfectly fits the space.
Also:
>Why would you want to use somebody else’s fridge?
This is a weird question. You're ok with using "someone else's" apartment, someone else's toilet even. But you draw the line at a fridge?
