    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.

      To add: despite how you feel ideologically about this, “the court system” does not care how much you downvote it.

      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.
