Check if the electric & gas companies that service your rental have "landlord protection" programs that will auto-flip utilities into your name in lieu of shutoff.The only downside to these programs is during summer months when tenants fall behind on utility bills, you get stuck paying.

Step 4: Add money to secured credit card.Step 5: Setup online monthly auto pay the minimum. 

She should be able to set up an auto-draft from her bank to your bank, electronically depositing the funds into your account each month.

If the income does not meet the 2.5x rent, I wont even do the check and auto fail them. 

Maybe someone recently helped/advised an aging family member on the best way to  set up their lives to be on "auto-pilot" Do you have ANY recommendations? 

We can't even get an auto loan!
