If you're 16 you can't enter into a binding contract. You may be able to if you are legally emancipated (need to check on that) but I doubt if a landlord would go for it. If you can get an adult to represent you you'll have a better chance, otherwise the only sort of place you'll probably get is a "slumlord" type situation where someone is taking advantage of you. Oh, there are the utilities to think of too. What good is an apartment without things like heat, hot water, light, etc?
