Will my debt affect new landlord?

Hi there. Am currently looking at moving into a houseshare as this will be considerably cheaper than having my own flat, and help me to pay off my debts quicker. I am in a DMP with CCCS - all going smoothly (ish!). My question is, will my bad credit rating affect my new (live-in) landlord? We are not connected in any way other than by address. Do I admit to my bad credit rating (obviously being on a DMP I have defaults as am paying less than the minimum agreed payment), or just say nothing as it's no ones's concern but my own? The last thing I want is to ruin anyone else's credit rating. Where do I stand with this?
Thanks for any advice :)
