If the landlord will accept the parents signature, yes. Until they are 18, they cannot legally sign a contract. But the parents can allow the child to live there and can sign the agreements for them. There are also some states that allow a minor to sign agreements for necessities, such as shelter, but there are restrictions.

Yes because as a minor you are not legally able to sign a contract such as a lease. The co-signer must be at least 18 years old.
