Own apartment with 16
Constantly fighting with your parents and your own friend is not allowed in the room? The thought of having your own apartment at the age of 16 may not be far off. However, there are some obstacles to this.
To finally be able to do and not do what only corresponds to your own will is a nice idea. Without the help of your parents, however, you will hardly be able to get your own apartment at the age of 16.
Move out at home at 16

- Since you have only limited legal capacity at the age of 16, you usually need the consent of your parents as your legal representatives when concluding a rental agreement.

- If you are unemployed, the job center will only finance the apartment for you in extreme exceptional cases. In the case of young adults under the age of 25, it is assumed that they can still live at home.
Only if the financing is secured and your parents consent or the rental contract by signing, you will possibly be able to realize your dream of your first apartment at the age of 16.
