paying for service,but won't recieve it

What do you think should happen if a homeowner does not allow a contracter to do plowing on his property due to no trespassing .He is still paying his monthly fee, but will not recieve a service Do you think the homeowner should get a reimbursement for a service he will not be getting?

You can't bundle services and assessments. Most state laws, docs, and court decisions have stated that the duty to pay the assessment is separate from services received or not received. Technically, even if the association provided none of the services it was supposed to, an owner couldn't withhold the assessment ( or make deductions from it) in protest. That would include deductions for services or amenities not used.

In my community about 55% of the homeowners have changed the original landscaping that the builder did. They went through the ARB for this. They are told that at the time they changed, even though the HOA pays for all lawn maintenance and tree trimming, we will no longer service the shrubs and plants that they put in. They do not get refunds on their HOA fees.
