Not really. The resident should be treated like a tenant and the owner should be treated like a landlord. Any lease longer than 1 year must be in writing.

The family member cannot sue you for back rent if you have performed your obligations of maintenance, but they do have a right to terminate the agreement on 60 days notice.
