You have muchas problemas. At this point you're running a charity, not a rental property. Has she ever paid you even one dime of rent? I understand cutting family a break, but she needs to give you at least partial payment.

Nothing prevents you from obtaining a written lease and a security deposit. But your big problem is that you have a non-paying family member tenant. Are you prepared to evict her? How bad will you let it get before you do so? You better get a plan. (And you probably better clear that plan with your wife!) Good luck, you'll need it.
