Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California
Renting to Minors
I'm 17, and would like to rent a room
from someone. Is there any way I can
do this? (I am not emancipated, but
my parents have not objected to me
moving out). I have a part job and am
still in school.

Re: Renting to Minors
You cannot enter into a contract, but the contract is more to protect the other person. You can always disavow the contract if you entered into it under the age of 18.
It is best to become emancipated.

See if your parent's will co-sign the rental agreement; that means they also are fully responsible for your renting.
Re: Renting to Minors
You need to become emancipated.
Technically, you cannot enter into a contract because of your age.

Good luck!
