After $3$ months, Carla lost her job, packed up her belongings, and went to live with her parents in Europe. Shalisa has not paid the current month's rent and offers to give the landlord half. She told the landlord to get the other half from Carla. The landlord is demanding the full $$1,500$ in rent from Shalisa and took her to court for "breach of contract"
