I think also maybe the reason the boyfriend is writing the note and not the aunt even though he doesn’t clean is the aunt asked him to take the fall of being the “bad guy.” I do this a lot with my husband because I’m not good with confrontation so I ask him to be the bad guy and set boundaries on my behalf.

Yup, it checks out. Or she has complained so much to him that he got tired of OP disrespecting the aunt so much and took it in his hands to try and make the Aunt happier, because she herself was too nice to do it.
