A civil agreement between private parties cannot be under penalty of purjury. A civil penalty could be levied if it is specified in the contract, but I've never seen a rent contract that specified a penalty beyond the landlord having the right to break the agreement if they find out.

Generally speaking, a landlord has an incentive to keep you if you pay on time and don't damage property, regardless what you lied about.

Tips must be unethical, tips that are ethical will be removed.
Tips must provide some benefit to you.
Post titles must begin with "ULPT" or "ULPT Request", and should be descriptive. The title should explain the gist of the ULPT without needing a description. Post that are walls of text will be deleted at the mods discretion.
No tips about rape, murder, suicide, or any tips that violate Geneva Convention laws.
