APU inoperative

Hey all. Me here with some more bad pilot complaints.

On my outbound from Edinburgh in a 757 the APU on the aircraft was not fucntiong. This is happened once before to me on a different airline, and during the previous case we were off loaded and had a replacement aircraft brought to us. Now we where kept on the craft and flown, it of course posed no problems in flight but on the ground before engine start it was horrid.

Anyway I wished to ask if it was legal to fly an aircraft if you had a non operative APU. And if it is an essential piece of equipment should an engine fail (which I think it is. I am probably wrong however)
