Renting only to 'couples or blood relative' can be regarded as a discriminatory practice by the landlord. A grandmother, a granddaughter and a child comprise a family unit and is also protected by 'Familiar Status' under Fair Housing laws.
"It just sounds like she's just trying to give everyone a place to live" is not a valid reason to deny an applicant to rent, but is reason enough to have a fair housing complaint filed. You should have set standards (written criteria) that each applicant must meet in order to rent from you.

The best criteria is each applicant applying for an apt shall has a qualify income which is 3x the monthly rent.Not matter what the excuse they present,each individual applicant shall comply with that income requirement.Otherwise you will not rent.If 3 unrelated applicant want to live together in the same apt each must have enough income to pay his or rent just in case one of them leaves apt.They will understand that.
Other qualification good credit report for each applicant. Pay rent on time.

I suspect you will be vacant long time with that criteria. Say a h/w each make 3x your rent of $1K. Most folks making $6K will want to be in a $2K rental. Your $1K rental is going to look like a slum to them.
