    Post Consequences of False Rental Agreement

    My question involves business law in the state of: california
    my employer asked me to sign a rental agreement which stated i was paying rent, in reality i was being payed on a comission basis. i was told i could "right off the rent" for tax benefit. what are the consequences if i sign something that says i pay rent, instead of stating that im employed or comission.

    HUH? Your 'employer' asking you to sign a rental agreement has absolutely nothing to do with your employment and your commissions. I honestly don't see how the two relate. Forgive my ignorance.

    But, if you knowingly sign an agreement that isn't on the up-and-up, you and your 'employer' are committing fraud.

    Most likely he does not want to pay for workers comp. if you pay rent then you are truly an independant contractor.
