Adults shouldn't have to be given a chore chart. If it needs to be done, then get it done. Why do adults have to decide who will take out a full garbage bag or mow a too tall lawn. Ridiculous. At that point you should pay somebody to do your chores for you
Its always best to make things explicit to reduce the chances of misunderstanding.
It can be a way to make sure things are equitable, and also to be able to plan. Maybe your natural proclivity would be "I have a lot to do at work and/or school", and then you would invest yourself almost solely in those things and forget, until you are reminded at the last minute and you realize it is only fair that you do contribute and you do without complaint even apologizing if you've really been slacking on household chores, but now your whole projected timeline is screwed up and needs to be rearranged. If you plan on chores ahead of time then you can mentally visualize how you will spend your time and not forget to include those tasks as well.
Order and organization make life easier in general. It should be more normalized for people to communicate and negotiate these things when living together rather than it being a social expectation to just wing everything.
I cleaned up after myself when living with roommates. And if a common space needed deep cleaning I did it when I had the chance. I would empty the trash can or start the dishwasher if needed.
I worked full time while putting myself through college full time. If one of them tried to tell me I had to schedule in cleaning time or do a chore chart situation I would have laughed in their face.
