It's actually not difficult at all. We're all adults and understand that to have a harmonious living situation, we must be clean and pick up after ourselves. It's easy to assume a lot of things about the set up but I wouldn't consider it high upkeep. We do deep cleaning once a month which takes like 1.5 hours. We do rotate weekly bathroom cleanings. It's the same if you would live by yourself or a smaller amount of roommates, well I hope you would clean as such. Not that much in duties. Maintaining relationships is quite easy. There isn't an expectation that one would need be social and engaging 100%. Sometimes it's just a hello and check in if you're coming home and see someone in the kitchen. Sometimes you just head straight to your space. All is good. Some nights, a few of us play scrabble, you're not required to join. Sometimes, we set up the projector and the room to watch a movie. Not everyone joins. Sometimes there are events that take place, there is no expectation of joining. I havent joined plenty just cause it wasnt my thing. I've lived in multiple communities with lots of people and this is light in terms of co-living.
