What does personal electric mean?

I'm looking for an apartment on where I live, and got a Apartment guide and it one of the apartments i'm interested in says, "All utilities paid (except personal electric)?" Which does make since to me? Could someone tell me on what this means? Thanks so much!

1. You pay for the electricity you use in your apartment. You do not pay for lights in the hallway or parking lot and such
2. it could b house-hold electricls such a kettle, toasters and what not...hope I'm right, damn them brochures! you'd have to be a neurologist to understand one!
3. How would they have a meter for personal electric? It might be a share deal. All the residents of the building might have one electric meter together, and might divide the bill among themselves equally, regardless of how much each uses. They might call that personal electric, but it would not be a good name for it. What it would mean to me would be you pay for what you plug in, but not what comes with the apartment. For example, you would pay for your electric toothbrush but not your electric oven. But how would they meter that? So it probably doesn't mean what it says.
