    JustAThought I've removed those links from your post as I don't believe they are helpful to the OP, who is already stressed about her pregnancy.

    Thanks

    Agree with most of the advice given here, your sis is taking advantage of your kindness.

    Not sure if its been mentioned already but there is a ban on evictions at present due to covid so seek legal advice before asking current tenants to leave just in case there are consequences. I personally think its asking for trouble if she moves in (won't pay rent or won't move out etc.) and would rescind the offer.

    There isn't a ban on evictions any more. There is only a ban on using unpaid rent as a reason for eviction if the person is on the covid payment. You can evict on the grounds of a family member moving in with no problem.

    The only thing worth noting is that depending on how long the tenant has been there they could be entitled to up to 9 months notice.

    Either way I wouldn't rent it to the sister. I wouldn't rent to any family member even a good one. You get into a mess of not increasing rent or not charging full rent. The real question you need to ask is would you gift the person a few hundred in cash a month. If the answer is no then don't rent to them.

    Your sister has no boundaries.

    Any decent person would immediately step back if their loved one says they need a limit. But people with no boundaries throw tantrums instead.

    That she had no boundaries is her problem, not yours.

    I'll bet this isn't the first time she's asked too much of you.

    It is okay too say no. Congrats on the baby. :)
