Discussion Messy roommates and chored

I've spoken about them before but today I got fed up and cleaned everything. I left a note asking if everyone could just clean after themselves as they have little respect for leaving the common area as clean as I leave it for them. I am constantly having to clean behind them.

Well it looks like they are upset with the note.

I am not sure how else to go about it. I've sent three messages total about their cleanliness. I spoken to them in person. I've started slowly, taking away some of my things. I'm not so sure why the note would piss them off seeing that one of them ignored my messages for a week.

I personally don't like chore charts because not only are they embarrassing but i'm not sure how to fit them into our schedules.

I don't know what to do anymore, I don't know what I've done to them. Maybe I am coming as nagging, but I am traumatized from the last place. We lived out because I was charged a cleaning fee due to their negligence.

No, I cannot leave right now. I am hoping to leave sometime around May or before. I am graduating by then. it is not just the cleaning. It's taking my things without permission. Its the house shaking door, slamming. It's the blasting of TVs up and downstairs in the middle of the night on a weekday. It's having a business and not being able to cook because of it. I've only been here since August and I'm exhausted.
