A civil agreement between private parties cannot be under penalty of purjury. A civil penalty could be levied if it is specified in the contract, but I’ve never seen a rent contract that specified a penalty beyond the landlord having the right to break the agreement if they find out.

Generally speaking, a landlord has an incentive to keep you if you pay on time and don’t damage property, regardless what you lied about.
