What is the legal age to rent a house?

Answer by  lylo (129)

Renters need to be of legal age in the state in which they intend to reside. This may be 18 or 21 in most states. However, age may be of less importance than credit history, rental history, and job stability. A married minor may sign a lease or rental agreement thereby building credit, and sharing legal responsibility of tenancy.

The legal age in most states is age 18. This can be lowered if the individual is an emancipated minor. In some states, you cannot enter a real estate contract until age 19 up to age 21. But you can sign a lease or rental agreement at age 18 in most states.
