There was something about this In Tavern chat yesterday, so I'm copying it here in case it helps you.

@Foa was asking about setting up a daily for hoovering ("My roomie and I don't both need to hoover in a day, but at least one of us needs to."). Someone responded that there's currently no way to share a single daily between people, although there is a Trello card requesting sometime like that. (I can't find that message because it's already dropped off the end of chat.)

Here's my response to Foa: "If your roommate and you do roughly equal amounts of shared housework each day, there's some workarounds that might help. You could both have a daily for 'Hoover OR Remove cobwebs' - one of you does one, the other does the other, both tick off the daily. Or you could have a single daily called 'Housework' and it contains a checklist listing every job that needs to be done every day. Once you've ticked off half the jobs, you can tick off the whole daily. Of course, both of these still require your and your roommate to let each other know what you have / will do that day, so you don't both do the same task. It's an imperfect world, alas. :) A less technological but perhaps more reliable solution is to have a single printed and laminated list of tasks stuck to a wall, and you each have your own differently-colour erasable marker. When half the tasks are crossed off in your colour, you can tick off a simple 'housework' daily (or a once-a-week 'daily') (no checklist needed on the daily). At the end of each day (or week), erase the cross-off lines for a fresh start on the next day."

You'd probably want to be in a party with all your housemates, or in a private guild if some of you wanted to be in different parties. You could use party/guild chat to discuss who does which chores.
