Is it against the law to lie about income to a real estate broker if no document is signed?
I am currently looking at apartments for myself and my housemates. The brokers asked me to provide him with figures for how much we are each making and our savings. Thing is, we are recent college grads and I am the only one of the bunch who has secured actual employment; everyone else has their parents backing them up. We had to do this or otherwise we couldn't score an appointment to see the apartment.
Unless we risk fine or imprisonment or damage to our credit, we are going to behave as if we have actually secured employment since we are not being asked for proof. Was this a stupid move? Will we be screwed if we actually get far enough to sign a lease?
We have not been asked to provide a paycheck stub or any official proof of income or employment. If that is requested before our appointment, we may just have to cancel. But I'm hoping we can get to the point where we can sign a lease and just pay the deposit because that in itself is a test of the ability to pay.
You will need to submit proof if you are going to apply.
You are just wasting time if you are looking at places where there isn't a chance that you would be approved.
