No Different From Any Other Place I've Lived
In fact, I have to pay for both garbage collection and a base water/waste treatment charge for our home in Michigan even though we only occupy it for two months each year.
If one was responsible for contracting for services like garbage collection, water, sewage treatment, etc., someone explain to me how the fees to homeowners could be calculated if some people opted out for the times they weren't in residence? Would you instruct the garbage guys not to pick up when residents requested it? What about shutting off the water and sewage treatment? That too?
Sounds to me like you're proposing an impossible request, from almost anyone's perspective.
