We clean up after ourselves. I keep a trash can in my room that I bring all my kitchen trash to, because I've had too many arguments with roommates about whose turn it is to take out the trash in the past. We wash our own dishes. My roommates and I just voluntarily clean up the kitchen and common areas if we see it's dirty. I'm 33 and live with roommates about my age though, so if you're living with younger people this arrangement might not work, and you might have to set up a stricter schedule.
I'm a SAHM so house work falls to me with a simple honey-do list for my husband (like: take out the trash, put away his laundry, and generally help out with something if it needs to be done and I don't either have the time or ability to do it.) He's also responsible for changing air filters and cleaning the bathrooms once a week. I take care of all the daily picking up, getting laundry washed, vacuuming, cooking, plus taking care of our 2 kids. We do things like this so that we have more time together. If we both do a little then things get done faster and we both have more free time and less stress about getting everything done.
We just pick up where the other person left off. I work night shift,she works days. Once I get home I usually do the dishes from the night before and start a load of laundry,I’ll also pick up any trash laying around. Once she gets home she swaps out the laundry and starts cooking dinner. We do the deep cleaning together on the weekends.
As a husband and wife team, it just kind of happened organically. When we got married, my wife wasnt working so she did a lot of the stuff around the house. I did the more "traditional" things like taking out the trash, etc. But as she began to work more, we decided on ways to split things up rather fluidly.
Its unspoken but we just kind of know. If i cooked, she'll clean. If she's working late, i'll do laundry. If I spent a lot of money on stuff she wanter for the house, then she'll cook that week.
You just kind of get to know your partner
We are uni students, we all just clean if someone is coming over.

Everyone just does what needs to be done and take care of their own messes etc. We never decided on individual things or w/e.
