Sorry to hear about your situation and it can be difficult to try to reason with unreasonable people, but allow me to make a suggestion that may help.

You mentioned that you offered to pay 6-months rent up-front, which means you have some cash available. And, you mentioned that the house is old with very ineffecient Windows.

Why don't you try to make a deal that you will pay to upgrade the windows to something energy efficient if she forgoes the $50/month rent increase AND let's you keep your plants?

Depending on how much the windows cost, you may even be able to get more than $50/month knocked off the bill!

Goodluck!
