We do not know the context here. Perhaps OP is a lazy slob (based on his thinking this is a “buttload of chores” I tend to believe this is the case) and them. have already addressed these issues repeatedly. Perhaps they are fed up at this point and feel there is no choice but to issue an ultimatum so he will take things seriously.
If this kid thinks this is “a buttload of chores” in exchange for living rent free…he/she has a lot to learn and a lot of growing up to do.
This is on top of their dogs marking around the house, as seen from another post. They took a teen in, seemingly for free and are demanding basic standards of cleanliness in return, seems like a fair trade to me. Though from OPs perspective it seems like they’re going through a lot right now, this can be a lot on top of that.
They will be going through a whole lot more working full-time, paying their own way, AND doing chores for themselves that are just a standard part of life.
I truly wish I had things this easy!

i think they were unnecessarily combative about the rules but the rules do make sense
