Can the Landloard get his money back?

Joe, 16 year old son of Mr. & Mrs. Smith, fought with his parents and moved out of his parent’s home. The Smiths last words were, “you always have a place to live here BUT under our rules.” The next day he signed a one year lease for an apartment. Enjoying his freedom, he signed a lease at TVs R Us for a wide screen (60 Inches) TV. Three months later Joe finds he is unable to pay for the apartment, nor the TV. He moves back home. His former Landlord, stopped at Mr. & Mrs. Smith’s home to tell Joe that it took the Landlord 2 month to rent the apartment; plus, Joe left owing the Landlord 2 of the three months Joe lived in the apartment. The Landlord tells Joe, Mr. Smith and Mrs. Smith he will collect what is owed.
