Landlord Wants To Me State I’m Not A Student Now That I’m 18 And Must Sign The Lease

Location: Georgia, USA

I turned 18 this month and work part time (15-20 hours) and will graduate Highschool this May. However, I’m enrolled part-time in a college near me as the state covers my tuition while I’m in Highschool. Our lease needs to be renewed this month, and our landlord is telling me that since I’m in Highschool and working that doesn’t count as being a full-time student. When my dad gave me the paperwork to sign, it asked if I was a full, part, or non student, so I’m confused as to why I would say that I’m not a student when I am, even if only part time at the moment.

Is our landlord allowed to tell me to put that I’m not a student when I’m part-time and that’s an option on the paperwork? Or does me being a student only matter if I’m full-time credit wise at my college?

For additional context I’m taking 10 credit hours and my college counts 12+ as full-time, but over 6 as part-time. I haven’t signed anything yet as I want to make sure I’m fully understanding it and want to make sure putting I’m not a student won’t mess up my grants next semester once DE funding won’t cover my tuition.
