Thanks everyone, I told her I had family coming and needed the room back and she said she was going back to where she came from in any case. I have the weirdest feeling I've just been played, but then she pulls out some sob story and I feel guilty. Never again, never again!

Good for you, now make sure all your private info wasn't compromised. Especially on the computer.

And going forward, since you mentioned the smaller room as an option, maybe you could find someone legit who would truly be a help in exchange for the small room, and take in a second paying boarder for the other room? Does sound like a hassle, but you mentioned being desperate for help. I know people who have babysat and/or done household stuff in exchange for a room, BUT expectations were outlined in writing to protect both.

If you are wanting to rent out a room in your house, you might put an ad at the nearest college to see if a student needs a place like that. I'd probably seek out a grad student rather than a freshman if you went that route.
