The Application
You've found the flat. The landlord wants proof you earn three times the rent and you earn slightly less. One number changed on one document and it's yours. The only other applicants are a couple with a baby who earn less than you. The landlord will never check.
Do you change the number?
Then ask
- If you get caught in a year, what's your story?
- Does it matter that you can afford the rent, or only that you lied?
- What's the smallest lie you've told to get something you needed?
The classics and some new ones. A scenario, the question it forces, and the follow-ups that make it bite.
