Hi Chapos throwaway for obvious reasons.
I’ve managed to buy an apartment, two bedrooms. I live in it, but I rent the other room out. Is it unethical for me to hide that I’m the owner?
I don’t really lie-lie, like if I’m asked straight up I’ll answer, but I’ll avoid it if possible.
It’s mostly because it creates an odd power dynamic and I’d rather have a flatmate than a tenant if that makes sense.
Reason I bought is I don’t want to deal with landlords, obviously.
Do I get the wall?
Completely disregarding the ethical stuff of just being a landlord no matter how smol, don’t fucking hide the fact that you own the apartment. That’s a classic dick move if there has ever been one.
Frankly I don’t know how one would even think it’s okay to consider hiding it, but since I can’t stop you I can only tell you that if you do decide to hide it you’re a fucking asshole and you can go fuck yourself.
When do I have to declare it? In the ad? At the viewing? When it could fit into a conversation? When they ask about it directly?
Right now I’ve decided on that last one.
generally i think the correct time is in the ad (“i am renting a room in my flat for co habitation”)
Cool that you’ve decided to be a fucking asshole now go fuck yourself
