Have you ever rented an apartment that required a security deposit? It is likely that you had to pay one for a to set up an account for utility service as well. Maybe you needed a new electrical service provider or maybe you had to turn the gas back on. Renters are charged by utility companies with deposits to cover and pad their services until they can trust you better or until you have an established account. This is so the utility company can use the deposit if needed to cover your usage and bill is for any reason you can not afford a payment before your account is closed out. It also helps you build a reputation with the utility companies showing them that you are and have always been a responsible customer, more or less.
