In Massachusetts how old do you have to be to move out?

It’s probably 18. I’m sure someone couldn’t be on a lease until 18 since at 17 you’re still considered a minor and can’t sign contracts. He might want to wait until he’s 18 so he can be more independent .. if that’s what he wants.

Here is information about the laws pertaining to emancipation of a minor. both formal and informal solutions, in MA.

—If he’s old enough to move out, he’s old enough to do the research (which took me 30
seconds.)—

Here are answers to an earlier and similar question that you asked about yourself.

@gailcalled well yeah he could do it himself, but I briskly mentioned it to him and don’t know if looking it up even entered his mind. He probably took it as fact. Thanks for the links. They have good information.
