In most cases, a parent cannot sign a lease on behalf of a 17-year-old. Most states require tenants to be 18 or older to enter into a legally binding contract such as a lease. However, some landlords may make exceptions if the parent is willing to co-sign the lease or provide additional guarantees.


What is the Minimum age to rent a house in Maryland?

If a minor enters into a contract, the law will allow the minor to "void" the contract. The law gives the minor the power to choose whether s/he wants to honor the contract or avoid the obligation. Therefore a person of any age old enough to sign the contract could rent a house. That is according to the landlord-tenant agreement laws of Maryland. Hope I helped you.
