fraud is pretty rad 😎
- It's a rental from a landlord who wants your private info. Fuck em.
  
  That info isn't private if you're trying to rent somewhere. Proving your ability to pay is pretty fuckin baseline man
  And yes this is a fraudulent claim, and if caught can have severe consequences, as it's perjury and can also result in immediate eviction.
  This is not a viable option that should be taken seriously. This is a joke on Twitter.
  
  Many places have laws to protect tenants from shit like that. Where I am, it's illegal for a landlord to ask for your salary, for example.
  
  You know what place doesn't? A place where your landlord requests your salary documentation.
  If that doesn't happen where you live, then this warning is meaningless to you. If it does, it's an appropriate thing to warn people about given the enthusiasm surrounding this post.
  
  To add: despite how you feel ideologically about this, "the court system" does not care how much you downvote it.
  
  Only here would an actual warning about actual legal consequences be met with "fuck off I'm a pirate yarrr" and downvotes lol
  
  fuck off I'm a pirate yarrr
  
  Nobody is forcing you to rent. Landlords have the right to know if their prospective tenants can afford their lease
  
  Can't afford to buy, can't meet exaggerated rent criteria,..., profit? I did see a nice rock i might be able to live under, as long as the HOA fees aren't too bad.
  
  Bootlicker alert
  You're right I'm not being forced to rent, so long as I'm ok living on the street
  
  How does that boot taste?
  
  I agree in principle but rent is so crazy high right now I also don't fault anyone for falsifying data in order to get a roof over their head.
  The market is so out of whack the normal rules don't apply.
- Everyone's doing it. Our ex president apparently regularly inflated his net worth by up to 2.2 billion.
  
  What's good enough for the aristocracy is good enough for the proletariat.
  I hear cake is good.
- The uber rich are frauding our entire nation so it evens out
