You are able to bring your own fridge into residence, however it must meet the following specifications:
If your fridge is left in your residence room after you have moved out, you will be charged a removal fee. This removal fee will be placed as a charge directly onto your LORIS account.
Students living in each apartment unit are responsible for bringing their own cookware, dishes and cutlery as well as small appliances (such as microwaves, toasters, kettles). Any small appliances brought into residence must be CSA/ULC approved and are only permitted to be used within the kitchen.
We recommend students pack dishes, utensils, and cookware enough for just themself prior to moving into residence. Then typically on move-in day, students in the apartment would decide among themselves who will bring items that they need for the apartment in terms of small appliances (like microwave, toaster, kettles, coffee makers).
Items not permitted in residence:
