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.

Which one is primarily active at any moment depends on all sorts of contextual things. Somehow it does help me (I feel less conflicted) to not think of my boss as “kind of good, kind of bad” but just about myself as having two separate needs/drives
Honestly it's less about whether the person in question is a bad person and more about whether ignoring the fact that they have the potential to be is safe. Everyone might be secretly evil, but what level of P(evil) should be treated as safe depends on their power over you.

It's well known that bosses tend to score highly for psychopathic traits, so the fact they seem superficially nice doesn't count for much when evaluating P(evil).

P(evil|boss) >> P(evil)
