To the OP: send them to me! I have an extra room, I call it my "server room" that currently contains my one-and-a-half rigs 
Aaand I have free electricity! Well not free, but it's included in my rent, I pay a fixed amount no matter how much I use.
The only problem is you're in L.A. and I'm in New Hampshire...

How do you swing fixed price electricity? That's a sweet deal!
I have three rigs right now and building a fourth. Expect to have 10 in the next month or two. That could easily be a $900 power bill in LA, even with commercial rates.
In Long Beach.. wondered if you've got any resolution to this yet? I have a fairly good size separate addition to the house. I have a special account with SCE that prices electricity at a fraction of the normal cost. I also supplement with a solar panel set up. I currently have two 7970's and two BFL Singles all water cooled. Interested in teaming up? Could add water cooling to your rigs and take advantage of the low electricity cost and stay in the local area.

I think most places with fixed electricity costs also assume some "standard" usage. I'm willing to bet if their bill skyrocketed, you'd be billed accordingly
Testify! That's why I'm currently selling 8 6990's...
I've just setup a small rig (only 2x6950)
I'm from Aus so you may need to translate some of the terms I use ...
But my solution was to put it in my garage in the building basement
I live in a block of units and the power in the garage is of course connected to my unit also.
So my solution is to use a Powerline adapter (I bought a Netgear XAVB1004 for $110)
to get the internet down there
It's in a pretty stable temperature (and also being winter here now quite cool down there)

I'm surprised nobody mentioned getting rid of the wife as a viable alternative 
I love Bitcoin, but if came down to it, I'll take her over BTC any day
Still, I'd like to have my cake and eat it too!

Nope, no mention of standard usage, or of any usage whatsoever anywhere in my lease agreement.
I have reviewed my home owners association bylaws and there is no standard usage, lucky me. Also it may depend on the total amount of apts in the building. Lets say 50+. A bump in power from one might not even dent the power bill for anyone to notice, at least in my case it doesn't.

That's not an unusual deal up here in the land of the ice.
Besides the landlords can deduct it as business expenses so they don't really care one way or another. To the OP: send them to me!

No prob, let me know how that works out - I'm in LA too, and might be interested in something like this at some point (right now I don't have enough hashing power to justify it). BTW, I also know that storage places which offer storage for RVs, boats, and such typically have electrical outlets. I found one place (in Florida unfortunately) that has 30 amp plugs in the storage units. I'm sure these are expensive to rent though.
I've asked the owner of this storage place if i could get up to 80 amps to support me growing to about 10 rigs. We'll see what he's willing to do. Boat storage is also a good idea. Might check that if it this doesn't work.

Thanks Dargo.
Meanwhile, the owner of a climate controlled storage place says he can give me a storage unit with power, so I'll be checking that out in the next day or two

In the link below if you scroll down to the post by rearwheels, he mentions that he is taking his rig to an "industrial area" where he is renting power. Most likely he is just renting from a friend, but it might be worth sending him a message to find out.

Thanks for the offer!
Let me give it some thought. I'm going to meet with a guy who owns a storage place in LA that might be willing to do something for me. I'll keep you posted

Maybe there is some sort of cabinetry with cooling and sound deadening that can be built around them that also serves another function. Maybe a credenza or fake bookshelf?
I bet you're paying more like $0.12/KWh in Florida, huh?
If you're serious, I just might consider it
If you're serious, I just might consider it
Last bill I paid exactly $0.1290 per Kwh
It was thrown out as a joke because I never dreamed you would consider it due to distance.
If you can think of a win/win scenario I'm *all* ears.
