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?

    Then you should communicate that with the people there, because surely the relationship is going to be pretty fucked if they find out you're the owner?

    I don't know the cohort of people renting the room but I would think I'd find out pretty quickly and I think it would be hard to not disclose without lying. However I do a title search before renting so maybe I'm not the best example.
