its illegal for 17 year olds to sign leases on apartments for themselves you cant legally sign a contract or move outon your own until you are 18 years old so in order for these kids to get a aparmtent would require at least one of the over 18 year old parents to get the lease for them wich is fraud as well as child neglect for letting them move out on thier own while they were underage
True, but you also can't buy cigarettes under 18 also.
Should we press charges against all the parents whose children smoke while underage?
I realize that is an absurd point to make, but so is charging parents with "numerous charges" almost as absurd.
There are LOTs of ways to get an illegal apartment.
Heck, any college town is full of them.
Usually no lease, cash on the first of the month, no paper trail.
Of course, you are probably going to end up living in a roach-infested fire-trap, but peole do it everyday
