I have to gently find a way to tell this woman "no". I did float it by my landlord to see if he would want someone whose father is paying the rent. He said he would get back to me, but hasn't. I am at a loss for words. Mom said to tell her that my landlord won't let someone move in who has a third party paying the rent each month. In the case that something happens to her father, yes, this reasoning makes sense.
