Rooming With An Emancipated Minor
Im am 28 year old male and live in Maine. I am currently looking for a roommate, and need to find one ASAP. The only call I have had from any of the ads I have placed is from a 17 year old emancipated girl. She is coming to look at the place on Sunday, and I asked her to bring proof of emancipation. But even if she can prove it, will I be getting myself into a potential mess if I rent a room out to her?
Re: rooming with emancipated child
You are getting yourself into a potential mess if you rent to ANY female, over or under 18.

I've lived with females before...it's not a problem. It's the emancipated minor thing that I'm worried about.
Re: Rooming With An Emancipated Minor
Is it that you're worried you won't be able to enforce the lease, if she tries to walk away from it?
Re: Rooming With An Emancipated Minor
No, there is no lease. I just want to make sure that I am in no way legally responsible for her or for choices that she makes.

If you want assurance that there is "no way" that something can happen, asking a lawyer is about the worst thing you can do - we're all about figuring out the "worst case scenarios". ;)
