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?

      Yeah, it’s a bit baffling that OP doesn’t see the importance of being upfront about stuff like this.

      I hope OP is just young, and this is simply a lack of maturity.

        Yeah, this sort of view on lying:

        Also just to be clear I don’t outright lie, but I don’t tell unless I’m explicitly asked.

        Denotes a manipulative person or someone with very little interpersonal experience.
