She currently has her 5 bedroom home for rent and was approached by someone wanting to rent it for an Adult Family Home.

If it were an entire Entertainment center, then yes, require them to move it or sign a waiver of liability for you to do so.

And even if you could meet the more stringent criteria - most conventional lenders (all big banks in my experience) simply do not entertain you if you already have 4 mortgages in your name (as it is too much work for them)

The final cleaning is done by the adult children and the wife does the invoicing.

I do what I can to help them prevent these issues, but at the end of the day they are expected to act like adults and take responsibility for their rental.

Sadly, I inherited this property because my Mom passed away earlier this month - I want to run it as part of my portfolio and selling it is not an option I'm willing to entertain.

We don't often take new tenants with puppies or kittens because they tend to do more damage than adults, and because there's no history of the animal that can be checked.After 1 year, yes with deposit and maintaining renters insurance.

I would not entertain such a ridiculous offer.

From my experience your mom is not going to entertain what you're considering unless she's activity involved, understands the strategy, or has REI experience.

Well written, and entertaining!
