Never touch their food unless offered. Ask before you invite guests over, especially if over the night. If you use their washer/dryer, do it as quickly as possible, never leaving your clothes in the machine for an extended period of time. Be mindful of the noise you are making after they go to sleep. Maybe offer to help with house maintenance, yard work, etc. etc.
