Question

What is the legal penalty for signing a no income affidavit (being used to verify income status for an apartment) when in fact you do earn income?



Answer

It's possible to be charged with perjury, and that is a serious matter if it comes to that. Iowa Code chapter 720 describes perjury. Of course you'd have to be found and charged which is a pretty rare thing. I've never seen a perjury case in 17 years of practice.
