Question

In the state of Florida, is a person under the age of 18 and unmarried legally responsible for a lease or mortgage debt?

Answer

Generally no, but would need more info.

Answer

I agree with Mr. Slater. You would probably find that a lender would not knowingly issue a mortgage and note to an unmarried minor, and most landlords would not lease property either. However, like most things, there are exceptions to most rules, and more information is definitely needed.
