Living in my accom makes is killing me

Its been months at this point, at first my living in my flat was fine but it gradually got messier until the entire kitchen actually looked like hell.

There were several bin bags on the floor filed to the brim with so much trash I could barely close them because someone was too lazy to put bin bags in the actual bins (we literally have 2 whole bins), there was about 10 bags of trash over the entire kitchen floor so it was impossible to move around. The counters constantly had crumbs or stains or some residue on them from food, nobody ever even bother to simply wipe them down, the fridge was filled to the brim with rotten food and old takeaway because people just didn’t care to throw stuff away. There were dirty dishes everywhere in the sink and on the counters, the actual stove was so dirty it took ages to clean. The floor was covered in bin juice and just random trash, the oven was filled with grease from whatever food people put in it and the worst part was there were so many fruit flies everywhere they were going all over into the cabins because some person kept bringing bananas EVERY WEEK and leaving them to rot EVERY WEEK repeatedly.

I know people are probably thinking, why am I complaining, aren’t you part of the flat too? I’m complaining because I am literally the only person who cleans up after themselves after cooking, and I also am the person who least visits the kitchen because I can’t physically stand being in there, I’d rather kms it’s that bad, I literally spent an entire month away from that kitchen and only ate takeaway because I couldn’t handle it. I also am the only person who actually bothered to take out of date stuff out of the fridge. I’ve tried to tidy some stuff up before but it actually was useless because not even HOURS later everything was messed up again. Someone also kept getting all the sponges dirty with whatever sauce they cleaned off their plate which just made them all orange and I was the only one who kept replacing the sponges only for whoever it is to dirty it all again.

I’m actually so tired of living like this. During half term everyone just left without even bothering to clean up so our actual accommodation literally had to email all of us that the kitchen was in such a bad state they’d have to send in cleaners if we didn’t tidy it up and that would mean we’d have to pay for it (mind you I’m literally struggling to get by because I’ve been relying on just takeaways the entire time). When we got back I head two of my flatmates complaining about the fact (one of them claimed that they had tried tidying the kitchen before but I’m also pretty sure the other is literally the most messiest one because it’s his chicken that always has some orange sauce and he uses the oven the most, plus he always stores old McFlurrys in the fridge and is just the noisiest person in general, literally screaming at like 1 am), but anyways, they essentially said they wouldn’t clean it and that the price of the cleaners split between 6 shouldn’t be a lot.

Anyway, 3 of us ended up having to clean the entire thing, including one of my flatmate’s boyfriend who literally doesn’t even live here, and the 6th roommate is also never to be seen even though I’m pretty sure he contributes to the mess since I always hear him coming in and out of the kitchen at night. It was so bad that when we took out the bin bags the entire elevator was swarming with fruit flies.

But anyways, all the mess was cleaned and it was probably the first time I actually saw the kitchen clean since coming to this accom, and only A DAY later it was beginning to get messy again, first crumbs in the counter, then dishes, were now at a point where someone’s entire dirty dish set is now on the central kitchen island, it’s impossible to use the actual counters because there’s crumbs and food stains everywhere, someone started placing bin bags on the floor AGAIN, and it got so heavy I struggled to take it out. After I tried to leave a note saying stop placing bin bags on the floor but someone moved it to another place and the a day after the entire note was binned and someone began to put another bin bags on the floor AGAIN.

I don’t know what to do anymore, I literally can’t live like this, you literally can’t even clean the mess up because hours later it’s all going to be messed up again, nobody here cares and acts surprised if you ever bring anything up to them so I don’t even know how to deal with it in an amicable way. I thought about notifying the reception but I’m pretty sure they just think I’m also a part of the mess since I didn’t notify them about the earlier mess. I also don’t have any proof or idea if it’s a specific person making mess or it’s several people, though I suspect at least 3-4 specific people based on their past actions. I don’t know whether to report it or not because these days I’m just only eating like 1 low effort meal a day because I can’t stand being in that kitchen for long. So I don’t know what to do, notifying the reception will also probably make them hate me.
