Is it legal for two 15 year olds to stay in a hotel or guest house? How about an apartment?

My son and his friend are both 15 years old. They are both staying in Boston, Massachusetts for the Berklee 5 week Summer Program but housing has run out. We have found a nice guest house right across the street from the college. We we're wondering if it was legal to let them stay alone in the guest house because it is a safe neighborhood. Does anyone know about any laws that say they can or can't? What about for an apartment?





Thanks in advanceIs it legal for two 15 year olds to stay in a hotel or guest house? How about an apartment?
An adult needs to be present because an unfortunate event may happen and an adult needs to be there. Say there is a break in, a fire, an injury or illness. A legal adult would have to be there to act as gaurdian.Is it legal for two 15 year olds to stay in a hotel or guest house? How about an apartment?
i think it is illegal because they both are under aged children living alone think about it would your parents let you the other chidren might take it as a hand out were they can get away with NO ADULTS
Don't quote me, but I think it's legal for kids to stay in an apartment as long as they don't rent it themselves.


But, since there is a problem, I'd suggest contacting the program and having THEM fix it. If they're so keen to have the boys in their program, they should be making the arrangements for them, including safety.
I think it should be ok. I am 15 and when I was in DC for 2 weeks my mom had to leave me and my friend alone for three days because of her grandmas funeral in Pennsvanlia.
when i was 9 i stayed in Hotels





and there is no age limit if they stay with a family





when i was 10 i stayed with a family on a farm in another country ,and went to the primary school.





but that is in Europe
I don't know but, I think that their to young.
They need an adult present.
Depends on the state.
They are too young
You need to reread the literature you were sent on the program. If housing is included, the college is responsible for providing that housing and seeing that the boys are properly chaperoned. In any case, the college is responsible for the boys' welfare and safety while they are attending the program. I would consider consulting an attorney for advice.
Lucky i studied this sh.it. lol If you are considered a minor then you must have a parent with you. parents are responsible for your actions and could get in trouble for indangering the live of a minor. However, the law is made to protect minors and not limit their privileges. Such as if you bought a bicycle from a yard sale for ten bucks, drove it around town and broke it all up, then go home and ya parents are upset. They could go back to the yard sale and get the money back, but leaving the broke bike. They allow minors to mess up things ...because businesses or ';sellers'; arent suppose to sell to minors without parental consent. Now back to your scenario... you should check the ';child left at home laws'; for massachusetts where i do believe its over 16 to become dependent; and thats a legal process of emancipation. . Personally i wouldnt let my child stay alone until i knew they were competent to make great decisions where usually that doesnt happen until mid twenties these days. Send they *** back home since you trying to pay for money for rent. I know the break feels good, but hell its better to have them close to you then regret it later.
if your sons friend is a girl then hes gonna bone her.


if your sons friend is a guy then hes gay and thats his bum buddy
i live in my own dep... my life rulez!!
maybe they need a adult to stay at a hotel but where I'm from its legal to have sex at 14 so I'm not sure
