16 however difficult to get a job that can pay for rent and private landlords are apprehensive to renting out to an under 18 as they are tarred with the same sterotypicalimage of wild party throwing yobs. Moreover if anything happened to the house you are your parents responsibilty still as legally you are still a child.

My 14 year old daughter decided to leave home without telling me and moved into the house of a lady who was of dubious charachter.
I phoned the police and told them that my daughter ( a minor) had done this and I was going to go up to this lady's house and get my daughter to come home.
I was told by the police that if I went to the house and caused a disturbance, I would be prosecuted.
I asked the police what the answer was and they said there wasn't one. If she is safe and well then there is nothing I can do about it.
Charming.

In the UK
I believe that you can leave home at 15 - as long as you have a safe and secure place to go with a responsible adult in attendance.
At 16 you can just walk into the void ....
Don't quote me on this but a few years ago this was the situation.

This depends on the state or province. Usually it is 16. In Canada, you can't kick them out until 18, but they can leave at 16 and there is nothing you can legally do about it.

You can apply to a court to be "emancipated" if you are 16, and can prove that you can support and care for yourself. Essentially you are proving that you are an adult, and will not go on welfare.
Get a Big Brother or Big Sister, or a "Guardian ad Litem," which means representative before the court. Speak with DYS, or to people at the Boys and Girls Club.

At 12 they are allowed to stay home alone...
Leaving home... w/o permission... would be 16.

With parental consent it is 16, but with the cost of buying property these days most parents cant shift their kids out until at least 27

Most think 18.
A growing number are still living with parents beyond 30.
