From the facts in your post her claim seems groundless.
Debra Thal (username) :
Paying that amount of money per month would likely be less than what she would have paid for fair market value rent so it's hard to see where the unjust enrichment comes from. I think she probably got a good deal.
Debra Thal (username) :

Debra Thal (username) :
I don't see how she would be entitled to any interest in your house at all.
