Hello BP family,

So I've found myself in a difficult situation in my rent by the room rental, and the fact that it is a rent by the room house makes it much more pressing.  Turns out one of the tenants I just signed has a pretty serious prescription drug problem, which has just forced her to be taken to the hospital by an ambulance after her roommate called 911.  Both personal references were obviously covering up the truth for her and there was no mention from most recent property manager.  The story was that she was on Disability for a bad back that was holding her out of work and had been living with her daughter since her divorce.  She wanted to move out of her daughter's house because her daughter got married.  I just learned that her daughter had actually kicked her out of the house for her drug problem.  This tells me that this has been going on for long time and has probably refused rehab.  I already know where I have made a couple mistakes in my own due diligence here & missed some red flags, but the reality is that we have signed a 12-month lease (that she has no intention to break) and I know that a legal drug addiction is not grounds for eviction.

Thinking my best approach is to try to genuinely help her and possibly find a more suitable living situation (may be very difficult because of her addiction).  I doubt cash for keys will work because she is covered by Medicare/Disability, and also has $1500 coming in every month.  Money is not enough incentive for her to have nowhere to live. Still brainstorming...

Would greatly appreciate any insight or prior related experiences you all can offer.  Thanks!
