Tenant pay water and garbage or not?

[Heidi Hughes]

Hi, BP community. I am new to BP as of this year and this is my first time to post on the forum. I am a landlord of a SFR in Berkeley, CA. Is it common for the tenants to pay for water and garbage? I currently pay for the water since I want to be sure the yard stays nice and doesn't dry up. The house is in my neighborhood.

Thanks!
