Except for, you know, the fact that they can quit and leave any time.

So your salary is three (maybe hots) and a cot? At least the Saudi maids that occasionally escape usually get a salary.
I wonder if this is even legal.

Just sayin', but it's not that uncommon in Texas, especially along the border, to have a live-in maid from Mexico at the cost of room, board, and $50 a week. That's not minimum wage either. Illegal labor is routinely exploited with absolutely no shame.

I don't know what the law is here for a circumstance like this, but supposedly, in Commiefornia, when they agreed to exchange living accommodation for services they created a landlord-tenant relationship. So in effect, it created the same situation as if she was living in an apartment, and that makes them subject to the same rules as any landlord renting an apartment. This woman has probably run this scam before, taking advantage of the law. Apparently she has a record of suing and freeloading.
