I'm pretty well-off, so if I want to give an older disabled lady a break on a month's rent before she has to leave the home she's lived in for 21 years, it's not really creating any danger that my kids will go without food or college tuition or tickets to Star Wars or anything.I'm really just trying to be cautious and see if there is any legal ramification I'm not considering that makes it a bad idea to give them a 1-month lease.

Is it acceptable for me to suggest that they first make sure they're not leaving any human or dog food where mice could get to it?

My buddy own a campground , he has 5 gumball machines with gumballs and 5 gumball machines near the pond with ducks that have food for the birds in them .  25 cents per turn , no electric .  

We have two competing movie theaters being built... and the only plans to go alongside them are fast food?

As food for thought, a junior lien who doesn't assert their rights derived from their security interest in the property can actually lose those rights.  

I don't have a ton of time to spend on the forums (commute daily to South Bend and have a little girl at home that needs my evening focus), but I have been gobbling up all the awesome info on the podcasts during my commutes. 

After hearing the details of the offense (it being over 15 years ago) and giving consideration to their well-qualified income and exceptional references, I decided to give them a shot and leased them up, provided they paid the first month’s rent and security deposit before move-in.As move-in approached (I was already overseas at this point), the wife began emailing me pages-long emails on a daily basis, requesting immediate responses about the most trivial details.

Just food for thought.

I know she works hard, has money and has time but I know she is short-tempered and has no business skill.The partnership worked fine for 2 years but in the end the challenges of the various projects made her tempers flare daily and she didn't understand the long-term business strategy so we amicably put together an exit strategy for her.You know your relative so evaluate them objectively.  

So this is really a "what not to do," but something to think about (Specific to NYC and rent control):http://www.thenation.com/article/how-to-dump-tenants-and-make-a-fortune-2/
