The obvious answer to your subject heading question is, you can't. Emancipation is not a right - it is a privilege granted to those teens who meet certain very rigid conditions and who have proven their ability to manage their own affairs. If you are not living on your own and managing your own affairs, you can't get emancipated. Simple as that. The law doesn't care how much you want it - if you don't meet the requirements, you don't get the privilege.
IF your parents allow you to move out AND IF an older sibling is willing to co-sign with you AND IF you can find a landlord willing to rent to you under those conditions, then you can move out. If your parents do not allow you to move out or if an older sibling is not willing to co-sign with you or if you can't find a landlord who will rent to you, then you don't move out. And if not moving out means you don't get emancipated, then you don't get emancipated.
Please do not post back with all the reasons why your home life is unbearable and you HAVE to move out because it will be so much better for you. There is no appeal. Either you qualify or you don't. Most teens don't.

Here is your states la won Teen emancipation http://minors.uslegal.com/emancipation/nevada-emancipation-law/ Yes you are correct you cannot sign any legal documents as a emancipated Teen. However not all Landlords require leases. Emancipation is not meant to be easy otherwise 90% of all teens would do it and likely with disastrous effects. You were given some excellent suggestion around the lease option. If you meet all other requirements then go to courthouse file paperwork. Remember Teen emancipation is for Teens who need it not want it! If you can prove you are "self" (not outside help) supporting then you pass the biggest hurdle. Last know this that in states that do have statute son teens emancipation less than 1% of all petitions are successful from stats I have read. This article may help as well http://www.parentnook.com/teen-emancipation/

You'll be emancipated at age 18. It's called majority. Otherwise, the only other path to emancipation requires parental approval, MARRIAGE to an adult. I suggest avoiding that escape clause.
The traditional emancipation path rarely happens, so forget it.

By definition, landlords require a lease. The only difference is whether there is a formal written document, or a verbal or "understood" agreement. They both amount to the same thing - a lease.
Is that what you actually meant?
