Either way, I'm not a counselor and whichever side of the story is "right", I don't have time for the drama that it creates.  

Just answering no to her question, "can she use her son on the application" will result in you getting all the info she is willing to share or make up whichever the case.You do not need the information you simply need to answer her question.

Here's my rebuttal to a few of the more common complaints/concerns in this thread:My company charges a $400 Leasing fee, or 50% of first month's rent - whichever is cheaper.

And whichever else topic might fit the situation.

Finally look up the social security cost of living adjustment each year and increase the rent by that amount or to market whichever is greater.

But on the bright side you have made a great investment and which ever way you go you still come out pretty good on this one.

The one thing I'd add is to put whichever tenant you choose on a month to month agreement so in case it doesn't work out, you both can exit the contract gracefully - or at least quickly.Good luck to you!

Which ever way it is would be clear to Justin.

I'd be the first person to sign impeachment papers on whichever legislature put that in there.Sounds like everybody should just create rental agreements with rent about 5% higher and offer a 5% discount for cash/check payments.

When rent is not paid on time and it is clear it won't be paid, it is prudent to proceed with abandonment procedure or eviction procedure, whichever one fits the situation.
