Make your bed every morning. Do your dishes every night. Change your sheets once a week. Divide the housework into wet and dry.
Dry is dusting top to bottom then vac or sweep. Get the ceiling and floor corners.
Wet is kitchen and bath. Once a week. Use DIY products to save$ and your health. Peroxide and baking soda for tiles. Dilute vinegar for everything else.
Newspaper as a “rag” and vinegar water to clean windows once a month.
This is essential self-care and self respect. Keep your home in order and your life will be better.

Agree that keeping the home in order makes everything easier, i.e. don’t lose your keys and then be late to class or an interview.
Garbage disposals break easily, be care what you put in the sink (ideally just water). certainly no lemon seeds or coffee beans.
Also as others said: no grease down the sink, have a spare key in the car or with someone you trust, document everything, and if any issues come up, deal with them immediately. Like if you see a leak or smell something funky, contact the landlord and then follow up regularly until they deal with it.

Where is someone gonna get newspaper these days?
(I agree with you on everything, just... I haven't seen newspaper in years!)
