Hi!!
I'm 16 but still in year 11 and I desperately want to move out. I have a job with a regular income (not huge but it's enough) and quite a bit of money saved up. Me and two of my friends want to move out and rent a house somewhere, but we don't know if anyone will rent to us!! Even though we're over 16, we're still in school and you can't get a full-time 'proper' job until you've finished year 11, so does anyone know if you can rent houses - and if you can, if anyone is willing to rent them to you! - before you finish year 11? Or will we have to wait until July, when the school year ends, despite our age?
Thanks loads!

you can't legally move out [ or sign on somewhere else to live ] until you're eighteen unless your legally emancipated, which is not easy to do, because you generally need a valid [ to the courts ] reason & have to be able to prove that you can support yourself. SO you're going to have to wait until you're eighteen unless you can get emancipated.
