@Pedro Leal Hopefully you documented well all of the furnishings you provided and are watching to make sure she does not take them with her when she eventually does leave.

The rules that you cited seem to corroborate my thoughts: "(A) A non-lawyer shall not furnish to another for compensation, direct or indirect, advice or service under circumstances which require his use of legal knowledge or skill in the application of any law, federal, state or local, dealing with taxes, except:(2) A certified public accountant or a person duly enrolled may practice before the Internal Revenue Service, as those terms are defined by the then applicable federal regulations and the extent permitted therein.(4) A non-lawyer may render such advice or service incident to an engagement to provide products or services which he is otherwise authorized to provide, where such advice or service arises out of the providing of such other products or services and was not the principal purpose of the engagement."

In less than a week we had over 30 inquiries about the property, and several qualified applicants, and are hoping to sign a year lease tomorrow for move in end of February for $1248/mo.

Possibly the application process?  

For example if I have a door with a chunk bitten off by the previous tenant's dog. or if I have some roach infestation, or if I have the toilet pulled to snake a clog...things that makes the applicant think "what kind of a tenant and dog were here? 

I'm aiming for December 2nd, but keep watching for updates

Their deposit still has to be managed and returned according to applicable laws, regardless of who's holding it.What's the liability issue here?

I might even stop by and watch the eviction court for a bit.

My opinion: I have watched both men and women fail and succeed in business.

Now on to reading, researching, watching podcasts on being a landlord!
