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?

    I get where you are coming from. If it ever comes to a situation where you are forced to excert your authority, things could become awkward, also if it ever gets discovered by your flatmate on his own. Though your reasoning is easily understandable, so I'd say do whatever you're feeling more comfortable with but be prepared for getting found out.
