I've read the age of majority is 18 but persons over 16 can enter into legal contracts.

Any lawyer can confirm this?

Hi guys~

I just read this topic. Is it true there are age limit for rent a property?
How about students?

I would say that there is an 'age limit' because you have to be old enough to sign legal documents. As to the exact age, I am not too sure. Perhaps a lawyer could answer that. Any lawyer reading this, please advise. I am curious too.

may i suggest that those age below 21 (?) get their parents/elder brothers or sisters to sign for them? case solved?

In you are doing a course in Contract law, then, this question will be found in the Contracts Act 1950.
If you are doing a course in land law, then, this question will also be found in the Contracts Act 1950.

In all practicality, to spare you the details and the case laws on this area, common sense should prevail by looking at prudence and good sound reason why a teenager would prefer to rent instead of staying with the parents, unless this is a hostel set up by the school or educational institution where there are adults to supervise and control when situation demands so.

I think, social responsiblity issue, parental guidance, good morality and civic consciousness should take center stage at such a tender age, not freedom from all the above. Age is therefore not the factor for renting.

Yes, i agree with Mr. Raymond Chu, however, it is still a question of what legal age are allowed to enter into a legal contract either by renting or buying a house by an individual? I agree either with Mr. Star Adams that the legal age of 18 is already allowed to enter into legal contacts. It is likewise being observed here in the Philippines.

HTH!

It depends on the country on what is their current legal age. Some countries has a legal age of 18, some are around 16, and some are around 20s.

It depends especially on the financial stability of the individual and their capacity to pay the rent promptly.

Most probably you need to be at lease 18 years old before you can live in an apartment for rent that way you can also sign legal papers like your rental agreement.
