Al Jennings is an undergraduate student at Central Montana Technical University (C M T U). During the academic year, Jennings lives in off-campus housing at Elk Meadows Apartments. After finishing his junior year in the spring, Jennings planned to go home to Billings, Montana, for the summer. Since his friend Corey Hammonds was enrolled in summer school at C M T U and needed a place to live, Jennings allowed him to move into his apartment. Before he left for Billings, Jennings instructed Hammonds to pay E l k Meadows's on-site property manager, Ashley Hunter, an amount of $575 in rent by the first day of each month in June, July, and August. Hammonds assured Jennings he would do so and told his friend he was happy to find such a nice place to live for the summer at such an affordable price. Jennings informed Hammonds he would return to C M T U and E l k Meadows for the fall semester on August 22. When Jennings returned to his apartment in August, he was surprised to find it unoccupied. Within an hour, there was a knock at his door. It was Ashley Hunter. Hunter wanted to know why Jennings had not paid rent for the past three months. Jennings immediately dialed Hammonds's cell phone number and Hammonds answered, explaining that he had withdrawn from summer school in May, choosing instead to hitchhike around the West. Jennings was dismayed. Is Al Jennings liable to Elk Meadows Apartments for the three months' rent
