Deposits-Your Home

LUS security deposits are based on what level of service you require. Service deposits may be waived if you can provide LUS with a letter of credit from your previous utility company stating that your account was kept current, that is, no late payments for at least twelve consecutive months. Deposit refunds are applied as a credit to your account once you have kept your account current (payment by due date for 12 consecutive months) or if you are disconnecting your service. The current LUS deposits are as follows:
