    You have to be 18 for the rental contract to be enforced against you, so if you're younger than that, you're basically saying "I can move out and stop paying at any time because you can't enforce this contract against me" and no landlord will go for that.

    Even if you are 18, you still need to have enough income for the landlord to believe that you will be able to pay the rent and keep paying the rent. If you've saved up some money for the first few months, that's nice, but the landlord will want to know how you'll pay after those saving get used up.
