My son has found he never gets his deposits back no matter how much he cleans the place when he leaves. My daughter’s landlords were upfront about it and told them they will not get theirs back as they use it to clean and prep the place ready for the next tenant. Fortunately they are good landlords and repair things pretty speedily. If the lease says that about the electric then you probably don’t have much option but to pay it (makes me glad my daughter’s electric bill is on her own dime amd under her control).

I would not hold my breath about getting the deposit back.
