In America debit transactions are treated differently. Since the money is deducted immediately, if there is fraud you could see your rent money tied up for 30-60 days.
Thus it is prudent to pay for everything with credit cards.
I actually take it a step further and have two checking accounts - one that my paycheck goes in, and one that I keep a couple thousand in specifically to withdraw at ATMs. That way if there is fraud, I've only lost a small bit of money and my bills will be able to be paid.
