A security deposit is just a backup for an electricity company. In case the owner of the flat fails to pay the electricity bill, then the security deposit money is used by the company. This security deposit has to be given to the company when the owner is applying for electricity in the house. So, even if a house is unfurnished, there has to be a power supply. Let me justify my answer about the additional security deposit electricity bill. 

Who should pay ASD owner or tenant?

Normally, a landlord is an owner who is supposed to pay the security deposit on the electricity bill. Why? Because in the electricity bill the landlord’s name is always issued to signify that he is the owner of the house. Secondly, a landlord is supposed to apply for the electricity connection of the house. Thirdly, a landlord already charges a security deposit to the tenant because of wear or tear, failure of rent payment, or failure of utility bill payment. So, if the tenant fails to pay the electricity bill, the landlord can deduct the amount from the security deposit he/she has given while moving in. No need to pay the additional security deposit on the electricity bill along with the deposit money you can give while moving into your rented house/ apartment. So, the landlord should be responsible for ASD to be paid. 

Although, check your rental agreement before signing it. If you have already signed the rental agreement as a tenant and in one of the clauses there is a mention of ASD bill to be paid by the tenant, then you have to pay for the security deposit on electricity bill. 

I hope I was able to clear the doubt about the additional security deposit electricity bill.

Hey friend,

Usually any security deposit on an electricity bill is paid by the owner of the house. If you live in a rented house, it is the owner who will pay the additional security deposit and hand over the flat with 0 bill. The tenant will simply pay the bill incurred each month.

I hope this helps you.
