The consequences for lying on a rental application is probably going to be the same as lying on a job application: if you do get an apartment and it is later found that your application was false your lease could be terminated and you could be evicted.

For example if you deny that you have criminal record, especially a sex offense, and they find that you do have criminal record you obviously will be denied an apartment. The general rule is: if you're going to fill out an application for anything, be it a job or an apartment, anticipate that all the information on it will be verified. This is especially true in apartment applications because apartment complex owners and managers are obliged to protect the residents of their complex by filtering out people who do not meet the minimum rental criteria, such as an acceptable credit history and acceptable criminal record.
