How old do I have to be to rent a hotel room or apartment?

I'm 16 almost 17 and I really want to move out of my house. I just hate my house because It's full of **** we don't need because my dad has OCD and just has a packrat mantality (no its not as bad as a hoarder). For example, I was going to live in the basement with just my bedroom, my clothes and a tv. And he just crammed it up with a bunch of bookshelves and books that he never reads. My dad is also a control freak, the only way I can explain it is that its like living with a drill sergeant. He is also super religious, my whole family is Catholic and so am I but I just feel uncomfortable that he covers the walls with religious paintings. I know some people say this will toughen me up but I'm sick of it, his oppressing rules just make me want to rebel now, I just want a home where I can feel comfortable living in. I've been working out a lot for about a year and I know I'm stronger than him, every time we fight (quite a lot) I just think about kicking his *** but I just hold it in in fear of getting locked up and ******* up my future, because I want to finish high school and I have one more year left and I have the grades for college. I am also just embarrassed of my parents,(mainly my dad), theres a girl I like and I know she likes me but I don't want to be in a relationship with her because I don't want to have to show her my parents, or my house which is crammed full of **** and covered in religious paintings. He's told me I should just get the **** out of the house plenty of times but I have nowhere to go, I just moved to a new town last summer and I don't know if my new friends are loyal enough to let me stay at their houses. I'm sick of his verbal abuse and I don't know how much longer I can take until I start fist-fighting him. I just want out of the house so he has no authority over me anymore. The sad part is I have no job but I should have one soon. As soon as I work up the money I want to get the **** out. I would have to pay rent and pay car insurance by myself but its all worth it for me. How old do I have to be, I live in Virginia, US. Will I have to get emancipated? I'm just sick of being under him. They said they would still pay for my college, and even if they didn't I would just get student loans.
