If you didn't break your lease, then why would the landlord sue you? As to the age question, not enough information: if you remained in the unit after you turned 18 you may be deemed to have ratified the lease. Moreover, if the rental was a necessity for you and you were emancipated in any way, the lease may be valid regardless of your having been 17 at the time you signed it.
