Arik_16 | I'm 16 and I want to rent an apartment but what sort of things do I need?? |
The only thing I know is at the age of 16 I can live on my own in an apartment or something. But what sort of things will I need, like I know I cannot get a co - signer, so is there anything else I need or would I not be able to get an apartment because of that? |

I'm not sure where you are located, but, unless you are legally emancipated by a State Court Ruling, you aren't legal age to enter into a contract such as this until the age of 18 (at least in most States)
You would require an adult to co-sign for you, such as a parent or guardian.
As a landlord, I require a credit check (at 16 I would presume you have no real credit standing). and without an average or better credit rating, I don't rent to anyone.
You would also need the 1st months rent and 1 month security deposit. In California that could be well over 2K dollars before you could even move in.
You would need electricity, gas, water etc.....and as a minor, most utility companies wouldn't approve you without a large down payment or at least a co-signer to accept responsibility for your bills should you not be able to meet the commitments.
It's not easy nor is it cheap to be out on your own.
Best of luck |

In most countries, the legal age would be 18 or 21 to officially rent an apartment with your name.
Alternatively you can get your parent or any adult to rent it on your behalf. |

You cannot rent an apartment if you're only 16. You need a job, because you'll need to pay bills beyond the rent.
You're too young. |

You might need to get emancipated (if you aren't already). If your city has weekly apartments, you can get a credit history going and eventually be able to get a lease on a better place. |

In most states you have to be 18 to sign. If not you have to be an emancipated minor and even then appartments might want your parents to sign. You will also need a deposit and the first months rent. You'll also need deposits for the water, gas, power, gas, garbage pickup, phone, and cable.
You may want to find someone who needs a roomate and already has all of this done. |

You need a co-signer because you are to young to be held responsible for any contracts you may sign |

you cant be on your own at 16 its the law unless your parents are unfit and proven in court |

You can live on your own at 16 but with parents consent and if they wont co-sign for you then I would find a roomate. |
|

By law you are still a minor and your parents are responsible for you until you are 18. So in a couple of years when you are of age to be on your own you should know what you will need by then. |

can you afford an apartment- money, furniture, a landlord that doesn't care that you are 16
Sometimes they do credit checks too. Maybe you can find a roommate |
