    Depends on what the apartment lease says. Some will accept cosigners some won't. Your income and any credit rating you have will be the primary factor. Some apt's have a minimum age requirement. Check around and see what they say.

    I agree, most places will not allow minors to be tenants, even with a non-resident co-signer

    You may get an apartment if your mom rents it, in her name, but many places will not rent to 17 year olds, so don't expect it to be really nice.

    Also many may also need her parent to sign since she is a minor also.
