A deposit of not less than $75 with a letter of credit from a previous utility shall be required of all residential customers who own the residential property for which electric service is requested as a guarantee that they will pay their electric service charge. A deposit of $150 will be required if no letter of credit is available. A deposit of not less than $300 shall be required of all residential customers who rent the residential property for which electric service is requested as a guarantee that they will pay their electric service charge. The foregoing $300 deposit will be waived, and a $75 deposit charged, for any residential customer who rents the property for which electric service is requested if the owner of said property agrees to sign a written guarantee obligating said owner to pay any balance due for electrical service left unpaid by the tenant’s vacation of said property.
