There are people who are old and ill, and while our money is sitting in there and supports us, that doesn't mean we should be heartless and not help when we are able.In this case, I'd suggest trying a month-to-month while finding a senior agency who might be able to help her. 

We like helping seniors or mentally disabled people in group homes.

When I moved into my controlled rent senior place, I had to meet really strict criteria, even though I had section 8.  

., etc.So, no you aren't liable for their stuff if there is a problem - but seriously save yourself a bunch of hassle by requiring insurance, including a loss of use rider.I live in low income senior housing now, and my neighbors are bad about overflowing plumbing, etc., and I can't even begin to count how often the smoke detector alarms go off because of old people leaving the stove on, etc.  

Let them pay their own electricity and control their own coolness according to what they want to spend.As an example, I just moved into a rental apartment myself in a low income senior building, where air conditioning is not supplied in San Jose, CA, where it gets hot in the summer.I am on the top floor, which happens to be the 2nd floor, which of course, is hotter than the first floor, since heat rises.The problem with the place I live now, where no air conditioning is supplied in any of the units, even though we pay our own utility bills, is that the tenants simply open up their apartment doors to the main hallway, which is air conditioned, in order to cool down their apartments.  

I am a very low income tenant now, living on SSA retirement in low income senior apartment buildings. 

I am a senior freelance retoucher with a graphic design background. 22 years experience. 

We received the county tax bill today that breaks out a significant senior school tax credit due to my mother-in-laws age.

So here's my current situation, there is a house across the street from me with a woman who will be put into a senior home soon and her house is a gold mine, it's also a wreck that needs to have major repairs or be torn down.

I went to a FIBI meeting in the LA area and one of panelists was a senior planner for the City of LA.
