I feel for the lady, but the problem is that she didn’t get it in writing. Renter protections are almost orthogonal.

Yeah, that’s usually the answer. At the end of the day, never communicate with your tenant except through a lawyer or an officer. Corporate is much better fit for rent than small scale landlords. No emotions involved, no trust required, and they can achieve economy of scale with legal fees.

It's not squatting if the tenant is paying rent.
