She then gets thrown out and the landlord sues her for back rent. She then sues the guy to get the money that he was supposed to use for rent. So she may not be as worthless as he is. We will never know because the judge lost her head.

Ok...so if he and her got a place to live and he had signed the rent then it is his responsibility to pay rent. If his name is not on the lease then he has no responsibility to pay the rent there. If his name isn't on the lease then he shouldn't be there, period. If she couldn't pay the rent by herself then she shouldn't have rented that place, period. If the landlord was suing the lease holder and its just her name and his is not then too bad for her.
