Hey i work in retail on a full time basis and can only aford my flat with the help of my partner. So i would have to say no. And you are not legally alloud to rent a place untill you are 18. But when you are there are some flats that accept housing bennifit so you would have to talk to the landlord and council closer to the time. Untill then if there is a serious reason to need to move out ie family difficulties there are organisations set up to help. See your local council or citizens advice buro. They are like a flat and you get your own room untill you are ready to live indepwndantly. Speaking as someone who lives on their own though if everything is okay at home i suggest staying there and saving up. Everyone is trying to grow up too quickly enjoy being young first :)
