Assuming that you live in the US, you will not be able to rent an apartment, house, etc. until you turn 18, because your signature is not legal on a contract. I'm in Texas, and here, you cannot be reported as a runaway at 17, but unless you become legally emancipated, you still can not rent anywhere.
If you have been living in an abusive situation, go to social services, and they will find you a safe place to live until you come of age... hopefully... I hate to say that, but the caseworkers are usually so overloaded, there are all kinds of horror stories about the system. But you are obviously old enough to be aware of any abusive situations while you are in foster care...
Obviously, depending on the "why" that got you kicked out, there would be other options available to you, too... do a little research on the web. Your education must become a priority at this point, so completing school while you are in a safe environment would be much better.
Hope this helps...

First off, do you have working papers? What experience do you have that you could work other than fast food or retail? An apartment and food isn't cheap and then there's transportation and clothes. I would suggest waiting a couple of days for things to calm down at home. Then I would assess what exactly IS the situation at home. Is it abuse? Are you being abused or are you just not wanting to deal with your parents' authority? 16 is way too early to be on your own with no skills and no degree. I suggest contacting child welfare as being in another person's house - that person can get into trouble for housing a minor/runaway and can go to jail. Go home. If your parents seriously don't want you back there and it's truly an abusive situation call the police and file charges against your folks.
Seriously. You are too young to be out there on your own and there are too many bad elements out there that are just lying in wait for someone like you. You want a good life -- get a good education and deal with the family situation at home by either going home if it's not abusive or calling the cops if it is. Take a stand and look out for yourself. Take care.

All of them are right. Your parents are terrible to kick you out. It doesn't matter what you've done.
If you think fast food and shopping centers are stressful, you are not going to last anywhere. Stocking shelves at your local supermarket is a good place to start. Gradually, you can grow to become a cashier. The other choice is to see if you can work at a local hospital or doctor as a receptionist, taking appointments and stuff.
Once you get a little older, you should look for a crappy job at a major corporation that offers tuition reimbursement to all employees. You'll be able to have work pay for your entire education.

If you live somewhere other than the US, I don't know of the rules and regs there (i say this because of you calling a dwelling a "unit", although, I have been wrong before). You need to check with the police, make an anonymous phone call to ask a general question. If it is true they cant kick you out, you need to say something to them.. put it to them in a nice way... something like " contrary to your belief, your need, want and desire to kick me out, is only going to cause you problems with the law. I am however, willing to forgive you for the errors of your ways. In the hopes that this sort of thing doesn't happen again, I will look for a job to support myself and maybe we could set up a "reasonable" agreement for me to maintain my stay here." Then I would set up a contract with them, find someone or two to babysit. You could also go to your local Department of Employment Security to start looking for a job. If you show you are willing to work, maybe in the future you wouldn't get kicked out. I am not sure what was done for the reason you got kicked out, but you can resolve it.

that mean and evil that your parents or whoever kicked you out. I would understand if you are 18 but 16...... you should go to a social worker that can help you. 16 year old aren't suppose to raise themself or work for money. ( what kind of person desert their child like that) best luck

At your age you will be able to get assistance from Centrelink if you can prove to them that your parents are unwilling to have you live in the house. They will generally try and make all parties go to mediation first though.

I don't know you r personal situation but if there is anyway you can reconsile, do it. You have to be committed to it but it would be the best thing you can do.
You are loved and if you show your love in return then things can be worked out.
I will pray for you right now.

You can't get an place to stay due to your age. go to the police or to a local shelter and they should be able to help. You can also try social service
