I rented to a teacher and she was a little quirky but super reliable about paying rent on time.

You are a good guy for wanting to help out the future SD.

This can be a blessing to the entire family, or the wedge that drives you all away from each other. By the way, that tax implications are minor compared to the "family factor"
I also married into a SD, super smart and hard working young lady (Graduating this year).

I love my wife dearly and she loves me... but if anything threatens her little girl she goes into mama bear mode.

Long story short (just IMHO) if SD comes up short in anyway you will end up paying 'the rent'.

She has a student loan + cost of moving into a new place + whatever other cost of living expenses.

Just my two cents.
