When a person lives in a housing facility. are the residents supposed to do the housekeeping and maintenance?

I mean other than cleaning up after yourself, should you be the only residdent responsible for cleaning the bathrooms everyday? I'm talking about one of these rooming houses where struggling people live. Unless you have no income and are unable to pay your rent, I work two jobs so the money I work my butt off for to pay my rent is coming from honestly working a job. most of the residents can't work, or don't have employment. When I paid my rent today the manager made a comment to me that I seem a little more relaxed than when I first moved in there, and explained to him that I've been working two jobs, how does that seem relaxed. So he told me that I need to clean the bathroom and asked me if I could use my cleaning supplies. I told him that he should provide that, my cleaning supplies are for my room and not the entire facility. Also why am I the only one doing this and no one else who lives there, especially since I work a full time and part-time job. Why isn't housekeeping keeping on top of it? There's no cleaning schedule for residents to clean the bathrooms. Should I say something to the housing authority?

    anytime any authority is called, well you'd lose your place to live, or if you have a lease it will not be removed. So clean the bathroom,keep your mouth shut, and look for somewhere to live where you won't get taken advantage of. So let's say there are 3 residents, well each of teh 3 should either get a turn, or clean up after themselves. But no way should you be paying for the cleaning products. Maybe they thought you should since you're the one working.
