So if you fall out of favor, would you want or expect some sort of protection that Ms. A couldn't just one day wake up and ask you to leave for any bullshit reason?

I'd also agree that some sort of lease/contract should exist between all parties. Friends is friends, business is business.

The person pays the rent on time and has completed their obligations fairly.

Australian legislation Residential Tenancies Act 1995
Quote:
Residential Tenancies Act 1995

The Tenant has an Obligation to:

pay rent when it is due
keep the premises and ancillary property in a reasonable state of cleanliness
not intentionally or negligently cause or permit any damage to the premises and ancillary property
not use the premises and/or ancillary property or cause or permit them to be used for any illegal purpose and
not permit any interference with the reasonable peace, comfort or privacy of another person who resides in the immediate vicinity of the premises
notify the landlord/agent of maintenance and repairs required
report damage caused by the tenant or guests.

The Landlord has an Obligation to:

provide the premises in a clean and reasonable state
maintain and repair the premises
give proper receipts for any moneys received from the tenant
keep proper records of rent received relating to the tenancy
ensure that the tenant is given reasonable peace, comfort and privacy whilst living in the premises
pay council rates and taxes
provide and maintain locks to ensure the premises are secure
provide a copy of the lease agreement
provide a copy of the Information Brochure
lodge a security bond money with the Commissioner for Consumer Affairs if a bond is requested from a tenant
complete and provide two (2) inspection sheets at beginning of a tenancy.
