I don't think they're paying rent to my SD, the actual owner. The nephew is collecting it. I've not met the guy. I'm approximately 100% certain he has way more experience in cattle and timber than I do.
Part of what concerns me on this, he has no adult male descendants to stick up for his end of things. This is his third marriage, the second was to my mother's friend/employer. She had one son from a previous marriage who was born simple owing to her having mumps (I think) while she was pregnant. Just before my SD married her (he was 60) that son got involved with a simple young woman. They had a child and it soon became clear were not capable of caring for it. My SD and wife took the girl in and raised her as a daughter. That young woman (an intelligent and solid woman now, thank God) has a young son from a previous husband. Those two are the closest to family he has. And he has treated them like blood family all the way. He's a good man.
Like I said, this is a complicated story.
