But general, clean up after yourself, don’t use shared spaces 24/7, quiet hours, give notice of guests, never use roommates stuff unless given permission and you’re fine

I’ve always tried to be a great roommate looking for anything I could be doing wrong but somehow my roommate still felt like he found something and resented me for it without telling me what so I say do your own thing and don’t even worry about it.

Just have common courtesy, and if you’re super worried about it, you can just ask your roommates if there’s anything you can do to be better. Sometimes they might tell you how to improve, sometimes they might say you’re perfectly fine. For me, they said the latter. But at least I knew I did everything I could to be a good roommate

Open lines of communication, what worked best for me was a meeting one or two days into living together then a check in meeting about a month later.
