So long story short, I'm friends with (2 buddies) that are moving out in a couple weeks and they had forged one of their paystubs to reflect a proper income for the rent.
Now I know that what they are doing isn't legal, however from what they have heard it's somewhat common. Reason for forging a paystub is because one of them is currently unemployed while the other is working a full time job, they had come across an INSANELY great deal with a 10/10 land owner, apartment is super spacious and allows for big dogs (friend has a rottweiler) and the price is amazing for the area we live in, so they could not pass up the offer because in the area they are in it's extremely hard to find apartment units that allow large dogs.
That friend is currently applying for jobs in hopes he will land one sometime this year, he's a Computer Science major and is expecting to get a relatively decent paying job that can easily afford the rent. Neither friend was expecting to find an apartment this early out but since the deal was so good, they decided to move in a bit earlier than expected. The friend without a job has enough sustainable income to afford (1 year) of rent.
The friends have sent in all documentation to the land owner on Sunday and is currently waiting to hear back, both friends also have great credit scores for their age (23/24 years, 750-800 credit)
Asking on their behalf, they are wondering the steps land owners will take to ensure tenants can pay income. Both friends have legit credit scores/on time payment history, paystub was forged to reflect accurate numbers and the format of everything was insured to look correct. Will the land owner just glance at the paystub to make sure the numbers add up then mostly focus on credit score/payment history?
Those two have told me that they have talked to other people, and they generally said that the land owner will retain a copy of the paystub as "insurance" in the case rent isn't paid etc. Will there be anything else to worry about? Will land owners focus on the paystub aspect more or credit?
Thanks all
