My boyfriend and I want to move into an apartment. He is over 18, but I am not. Can I sign the lease?
The general rule is that those under the age of majority cannot make contracts, but an exception is made for items that are considered to be necessities of life, which includes shelter. As long as you understand the implications of signing the contract for the lease, you can sign it.
