Thank you so much. My only hesitation is that, during an audit (or perhaps in some other context), the government might point to the gifts and say that they actually are rent disguised as gifts. In other words, they might think we are trying to circumvent tax on rent and rent laws by setting the payments up to look like gifts. That very much is not our intent, but I can see how someone might make the argument, especially if my mom wound up giving me, say, $10,000 every Christmas. Do you see what I mean? I probably am overthinking this, to be clear, but I just don't want any trouble.
