If she is now eighteen, she shoudl disclaim the contract as soon as possible. Send a written notice to the landlord, and copy to the court with the case number noted on it. In that letter she shoudl clearly state that she was aminro when she supposedly executed alease agreement, and sh enow disclaims and renounces that alleged agreement. She shoudl also state this in front of the judge when the case is called for an answer docket.

If she actually moved in and stayed in teh rental space, then she may owe some or all of the claimed money. This claim is large enouigh for her to justify the expense (if any) of having an attorney look over and examine her legal position in this case.

Good luck
