Your rent encompasses not only the roof over their head, but also the use of fixtures and amenities.

I needed an all-encompassing system without paying thousands of dollars.

Inland, yes, it's funky/charming, but our realtor and a friend who ran a hotel there let us know there is a drug problem in quite a few areas, especially the closer you are to Rt. 1.

I don't suppose it would do any good to call them, and in a calm and charming manner (lol) ask to be billed at $49 for both units since we actually have less trash than our single unit neighbors?

The rents are only at $1400 per month in my area and I don't want to charge anything over the average rent even though my neighborhood is really charming and peaceful.

Also, the house lacked the "charm" of the older houses in the area and was pretty plain for most buyers.
