They have a team of highly-paid lawyers, I have logic.  

As a landlord you can never assume a tenant will follow a lease with a reasonably logical approach.

With this logic I should pass on both?....

Following that "for the kids" logic, perhaps if she hasn't thought about building assets to pass down to the kids, maybe that's something to consider - one investment property may not justify the hassle in providing for your kids whereas several properties, as permitted by future growth generated from the acquisition of a multifamily-house hack would merit some benefit.

As long as a request is logical and makes common sense, I entertain it. 

Considering that their commission rates are relatively low, it almost seems like the logical thing to do to just rent it out month-to-month using the Airbnb platform.

By your logic it would be necessary to install an elevator in any building if a tenant was wheel chair bound.

Your logic makes no business scenes what so ever.

However, in having lost the rental stream, I see no logic in anyone assuming the landlord is obligated to pay for the tenant's housing (especially as the landlord's mortgage will not be deferred by the lender). 

I'm going on secondhand information, but some of the anecdotes that have been shared have truly defied logic.
