And does she work or is a student? Is she on disability? I mean I've been on disability several times but I've paid my own rent since I was 19.

I don't think you are wrong to be skeptical. It sounds like the rent will be paid, but you might end up being a babysitter.
Not so common.. or at least, this is the first time I've run up against this. I smell potential troubles all around, especially with the father paying rent. She does work - she is a therapist with autistic kids. But she mentioned anehondia condition, or however it is spelled? Where you lose ALL interest in anything enjoyable? I don't want to take this on in my home. I am now trying to figure out how to tell her "no"? I asked my landlord about the whole father issue.
