Do you really need a full time job to lease a car?
My brother would like to lease one but was told he’d need a full time job and currently only works part time. The person who told him this has never leased a car in their life so probably don’t know what they are talking about. So if anyone has leased a car before what are the usual requirements to do so?

Getting approved for a lease is essentially the same as getting approved for a loan. One of the requirements is that you must prove that your income is sufficient and reliable enough to make the payments. Most part time jobs do not meet this requirements.
An exception may be a part time job with a high hourly wage. But if the job is minimum wage or only a couple dollars over this won't get you approved.
Have your brother try this.
Find out what the monthly lease payments and the signing fee is. Many times you are required to pay a couple thousand dollars up front when you sign the lease contract.
Take the signing fee and put this money in the bank and start a car fund. Do not touch this money for anything. Do not cheat. If you can not afford to do this, you can not afford this car.
The first of every month pay the monthly lease payment to yourself. Deposit this money into your car fund. Do not cheat. If you can afford to do this, you can not afford to lease this car.
As a condition of the lease you would be required to keep full coverage insurance on this vehicle for the entire lease. Call around to some local insurance agents and get some quotes to see how much per month this insurance will cost. Pay this amount to yourself. Deposit this money into your car fund. Do not cheat. If you can not afford to do this, you can not afford to lease this car.
Let's assume this lease would be for 36 months. Continue to make these payments to yourself for 36 months. Do not cheat. Do not touch this money for anything. If you can not afford to do this, you can not afford to lease this car. In 36 months you would have a decent amount of money in your car fund. Enough to pay cash for a very decent used car or enough to make a nice down payment on a new car.
If you were to pay cash for a nice used car you could start the process over again. Maybe this time increasing your monthly payments to yourself. In a few years you could buy an even nicer car.
This is exactly how I buy my cars. I have been doing this for a while. I recently bought a 1 year old used car with about 12,000 miles on it. This is a certified used car with an extended warranty. I paid cash for this car. It takes a while to get to this point. But it is really worth it. I make a little interest on my car fund instead of paying interest to a lender.
