She was an elderly lady and her sister had driven from 6 hours away to help her deal with it all and to help her move back with her.

Geez lady just throw a coat of paint in it stop worrying about silly things and move on , yes in a perfect works the tenant would pay for a lot more than they do ..but sometimes you need to just chalk it up to speed bump and move ahead

Good information here on the different angles of it, thank you for the information all of you guys/ladies put.

If so you'd think either one agency or the other would have their act together enough to cover this poor lady's rent 100% without her having to piecemeal it together (maybe she got that debilitating neck drop that prevents her from working from looking down so long while filling out the forms from so many agencies looking for help).Or does $215 cover some rentals in your area (trailer homes)? 

This isn't me pointing fingers, but having this come directly from both Jeff and Brian.As far as assignment contracts go, I always students to seek legal counsel within their state, and/or just use a transactional funder to do an A-B B-C transaction.

Subsequently, many will jump in the deep end of the pool with their fingers crossed, hoping they float and things turn out profitable. 

Housecleaning, talk to some of the ladies that clean motels to do the same for your STR. 

When I first began to get serious with the lady I'm with now (long before we talked about marriage), my 12-year-old grandson approached my daughter & asked, "Is grandpa going to kick us out of the house?"

She can go to court, but if this is some homeless lady without an ID and no money, what is she going to do?

IF you put a ring on that finger, I would figure out how to protect the two of you mutually together, not to separate before and after assets.
