You are legally permitted to rent more than one apartment at a time.

You can sign as many leases as you wish. However, if whoever is making the payments on the first apartment decides to stop or if that person defaults, you could be liable for the balance due on the first lease. So, before you sign a second lease, maybe you'd better get things straightened out on the first lease.
