What is the legal age to sign a rental lease in South Africa?

How old do you have to be to play in Larp?

Age limit will depend on the type of LARP you play in.

Theater-Style LARPs often do not have an age limit per se, but may deal with very mature or adult content. This happens more often than not. In addition, young adults often do not understand the complexity of some rulesets; this can complicate things when trying to play in a simulated reality where messing up the rules is tantamount to cheating.

Live Combat LARPs have a hard and fast rule of 16 years of age, with parental consent (waiver, the whole nine yards). A few require you to be of adult age (18 in most States).

Does canceling a cell phone contract early but paying the associated fees damage your credit score?

I would assume not for the simple fact it's not a loan you're terminating. Cell phone companies and the like go by your payment history, not necessarily the fact you might have bad credit as a score may show. Just make sure you pay all final and applicable fees as those CAN hurt your credit if unpaid and sent to collections.
