I will keep a potentially long and complex answer as simple as possible.

in theory you could enter into a contract to rent at 16 but its unlikely a landlord would touch you until your 18.

Some housing associations will let you rent but will provide additional support and you may need someone else to provide a surety, (monetary deposit)
