sorry,
answered swiftly.
I am very sure this is not the goal, as my adapter has no software
whatsoever.
as for seeing everyone's devices, I certainly cannot do this using my
tools.
I have asked my landlord if he can see me, and he knows not where to look.

What are these two adapters? It is hard to help without knowing.
My *guess* is that they are powerline ethernet adapters. Here's an
example:

(These happen to be refurbished.)
If this is what you are using, beware that you are on the same LAN as
your landlord. That means that each of you can "see" all of the
devices on the LAN. For privacy, each of you might want be on
separate LANs. (Someone else mentioned this.)
