If you are sectioned, i believe that you must stay a minimum of 28 days.

Another View: If you are committed by court order it can be for as long as the court's order states. If you are committed involuntarily (by emergency commitment order), it will usually be for no more than 72 hours observation before the institution will have to render their evaluation of your danger to yourself and/or others.

You can enter into a legally binding contract as a minor, and without parental consent. The upshot is, that as a minor you may freely dissolve the contract as long as it's fully dissolved. So you could not hire an item, then claim the contract is void and keep the item. You would still have to return whatever you rented.
