You can't make law to fit one weird situation. Eviction is already the way to handle this.
Why should the law protect someone who didn't even get a written lease agreement? If someone gets into an informal agreement without legal documentation and the homeowner decides that they want them gone, then the law should automatically side with the home owner and view the person staying there as simple a guest that overstayed their visit (or a potential trespasser). If you can't get a contract, then you shouldn't get the same legal protections as someone who did, the only actual right you should get in that situation is the right to leave the property with all your belongings, and the only time the law should be involved is if you need time to remove said belongings.
It would be insane if landlord tenant law didn't apply to all landlords and tenants. You would see millions of low end rentals offered as informal rentals to avoid being bound by the law and millions of the poorest would lose basic protections and rights in order to protect one grandmother from exercising bad judgement.
If you don't want the risk of being a landlord don't be a landlord.
She wasn't even trying to be a landlord, she was just trying to be nice and all she got in return was her pain meds being stolen and a methed out parasite being stuck in their home because of some bullshit legal loophole
Who cares if she was "trying to be a landlord" she is a landlord. Subjecting millions of the poorest to life without basic landlord tenant protections by making them optional in order to save a singular hypothetical grandma from a bad decision is pants on head stupid.
If you want to help her without changing a singular law just fund whichever court handles evictions and petty crime sufficiently so that they can proceed at at a normal pace. If the case against grandma robber actually looks sufficient offer grandma robber a plea that looks reasonable based on the crime in question and have her slap a restraining order on the criminal. BAM.
Not only is all of this fair it also encourages robbing bitch to take an immediate plea deal of GTFO right this second to avoid the above which is actually what would happen in 99% of cases.
All of this without ruining the lives of countless people for a probably made up grandma
