Yes, they can. They have to have their parent's permission. And the parents will probably have to co-sign for an apartment or lease. The minor is not legally able to enter into a contract.
A person must be of legal age to sign a contract. A lease on an apartment is a legal contract. So a 16-year old would not be able to sign this document.
{| |- | Because the parents are still going to be responsible for the minor until they reach the age of majority, normally 18. The biggest item is to get parental permission. And a 16 year old cannot sign a legal document. The parents will have to co-sign on any lease or apartment rent agreement. |}
Yes, if your parent(s)/legal guardian(s) sign off on the lease.
The legal age of adulthood in Chicago is 18, so, it would stand to reason that a 16 year old would not be legally able to sign a lease for an apartment.
The agreement would be with the parents as the 16 year old is too young to contract. However, there are exceptions that would allow it without the parents for providing shelter.
No - they are not legally capable of signing a lease at 16. Legally for anyone to enter into a contract (which is what a lease is) they cannot sign unless they are at least 18 years of age.
Yes they can, but I'd suggest you stay with your parents (if they agree) for a few months until you get use to looking after baby. Babies take up a lot of time and it can be a scary situation for first-time moms. If your parents co-sign they will have to sign a lease and you'll have to make good on it or they could lose their money. Good luck Marcy
You can not move out unless you have your parents consent and you also need someone to sign the contracts for you.
Your parents permission is all it takes. There is no special form or anything. And if there is a need to sign a legal document, such as a lease to rent an apartment, it will require your parent's to sign. You reach the age of majority at 18 in most states and countries in the world. A few have lower ages, such as Scotland, where it is 16.
First you'll need to get emancipated, and a judge won't do it unless you have a good reason.
of cosz no.........
