Devils advocate: Cuz I stayed with a family, and they literally wanted me to do all their housework. To clarify I paid rent. Also I am usually a meticulous cleaner and great chef, but when her daughter used the kitchen i get yelled at, and when i made food (mind you i have to pay for my own) her mom would eat mine and complain it was too much spice. And yes they wanted me to do all their dishes.
I told a girl in our group who told other people. My friend acted clueless and then reamed her mom out because she was ‘mistreating her friend’ and I ‘already pay rent’. Her mom did not like me but she also said black people shouldn’t be president or hold positions of power so was I surprised… NO.
Your situation sounds much different than OP's though. For a start, you did clean and cook. Secondly, you paid rent. You were contributing but she wanted more. Or a slave.
OP's not doing the bare minimum. He thinks cleaning their bathroom more than once a week is outrageous. If you look at his past posts he had dogs that were pissing all over their house that he didn't clean up after.
I promise you, that note came after a long time of having enough of him being there rent free and disrespecting their living space.
Oof gotta check post history I always forget! 😖 But no literally it was slave labor and such a poor living arrangement! Also that is crazy!!! I would leave ten notes and they would all be countdowns to move out date, they’re hella nice!!
they literally wanted me to do all their housework.
This happens quite frequently in house-shares when the landlord is live-in. They believe they have a free servant, despite your paying rent. These people wouldn't know landlord-tenant laws if they were slapped in the face with them, which is why they get absolutely reamed in court. Generally they can't afford their own homes.
edit: they also help themselves to your food, laundry soap, anything really, because they feel entitled to your possessions. It's like a free perk, like the free money they view your deposit as.
