On April 29, 2013, Kirsten Fletcher and John E. Marsha III jointly signed a lease to rent an apartment for the term beginning on July 1, 2013, and ending on June 30, 2014, for a monthly rent of $525 per month. At the time the lease was signed, Marshall was not yet eighteen years of age. Marshall turned eighteen on May 30, 2013. Two weeks later, the couple moved into the apartment. About two months later, Marshall moved out to attend college ,but Fletcher remained. She paid the rent herself for the remaining ten months of the lease and then sought contribution for Marshall's share of the rent plus court costs in the amount of $2,500. Can Fletcher collect from Marshall?
