Yeah but my new place is too far from UBC for her - I'd otherwise be willing to rent to her for below market.

100%. Don't rush to rent out - sometimes the timing isn't right. My place became available right when COVID started so there was very little interest and the applicants weren't appealing to us so we left it empty for 3 months. Don't depend on 12 months of rental income a year - plan for 9-10 months so you have some flexibility (banks only take into account 50% of it).
