Legal age to sign a contract is 18 unless they are emancipated. Likely, they don't have past landlord history which could exclude them depending on your requirements. --50.26.xx.xxx |

There must be countess reasons to deny. 1 year positive landlord reference, 1 year at job, qualified co-signer, good credit history, no criminal (wouldn’t show up... juvenile record), garnishable income, etc. I can’t imagine that 2 17 year olds on welfare out on their own are squeaky clean. --24.61.xxx.xx |

They cannot enter a legal contract at 17. I doubt they are emancipated, that is likely pretty rare. If they were emancipated, they would have court paperwork to show you.
You cannot enter a binding contract with a minor. Simple as that. --70.92.xxx.xxx |

Still learning,
since NY now says you can't discriminate on income, wouldn't having garnishable income be a violation?
Ken saying you can't enter a contract with them sounds legit. I have had a lot of youngin's recently. With no rental history I say deposit is doubled at a minimum and might there be a parent to cosign/ guarantee the rent. So far crickets is the response. Next!
So even if they have DSS, DSS won't double the amount they pay.

David if they have custody-- you must see court order granting it. We've had some lately say I've taken in my relatives kids --- no naw negative. If you have custody lets see the court order--- its just another way to get 5 family's into a SFH.
OP how did you take an app from someone not old enough to sign a contract? Did you forget your Lease is a contract? First line on the app says DOB? --99.103.xxx.xxx |

I don't believe you can legally sign a contract under 18 years old. I'm a bit surprised that they will be able to get any assistance too - I'd question that (but only to try to figure out what's going on because I'm inquisitive - in this situation I probably would just say "no" unless they "press the issue" and then I'd want to see the paperwork from DSS - or wherever they are getting the funding from.
Typical - two 17 year old people that apparently can't work? Really? --209.217.xxx.xx |

Ken,
MY atty warned me that *I* could be in BIG trouble for contracting with a minor. Something along the line of taking advantage of a minor.
Stay away.
