I do a better job of protecting her property, income, time, and sanity.

For example, there's an Employment Verification Form, Forwarding Address Form for Deposit Refund, and so forth, that you can request your tenant to fill out.I want to make sure I'm not missing anything (as well as protecting myself) but also don't want to over-burden the tenant. 

It would depend on your financial situation but most of the time you should have it paid through the LLC as you should be able to get more tax benefits and legal protection.
