It is all about your landlord and if they check. Some independent landlords don't check. They just want to make sure that you have a legit job and can pay the rent. Some landlords that work for a larger company will check everything.

If you lie, you may or may not get caught.
But any time during the lease, if the landlord finds out you lied - then the lease can be declared null and void and then where will you be.
Or you could tell the truth, and write a brief note explaining what happened and enclose it with your new application.
You do not say your age, but you could enclose a letter from your parents stating they will guarantee your performance for the new lease, for a period of up to ...say 1 year. That gives you time to establish yourself as someone who can be trusted by the new landlord.

I used to be an apartment manager, and I would call the last 3 landlords. I could tell if someone was using their friend as a reference and I guarantee you that they never got an apartment in my building if they lied. You have to sign the form indicating that what you wrote is true. You are committing fraud to secure an apartment. Better to come clean and own up to past mistakes and move on.

Yes.
You may or may not get caught.
The penalty for getting caught is the loss of any fee you may have paid with the rent application and the time you lost waiting for the landlord to check the application.

You better make sure your not still on that lease. As long as you are, you are still responsible for making rent payments.

You're in a sticky situation. No one appreciates a liar therefore do the right thing and things will turn out right for you.
