I'm generally of the opinion that honesty and mutual cooperation with people are the path to a better future for everyone, but it must be noted that for this purpose neither your boss nor your landlord counts as a person.

Dehumanisation is bad. Outside their professional contexts, bosses and landlords are in fact people. It's possible that some of them could be your friends in other circumstances. But if you cosplay as a soul-sucking eldritch horror, you're going to get treated like one.

Your relationship with these people is founded on the fact that they will ruthlessly exploit you given the slightest opportunity to do so, and you should behave accordingly.

I have mixed feelings about landlords. On the one hand we have people trying to make landlording their "job". My sister is a good example of this. She is in her thirties and she and her husband live off rents instead of working. I... struggle to see this as anything but parasitic

I mean, they basically leveraged redundancy payments and their credit worthiness to make poor people pay their bills. This does not seem ethical even if it's legal. They both left respectable professions (an accountant in one case) to live a care-free parasitic lifestyle.
