Why doesn't she buy her own house and avoid all of this having to dodge the tenents routine? If one has this much stuff, it's a good idea to support it in the style to which it is accustomed (we say this about our cats, so why wouldn't it work for furniture?) I don't know your real estate or employment situation, but when one has that much stuff (and it sounds like you're in the big leagues--which was my situation also, with storage lockers in a couple of different states!) eventual home ownership is a really good project to work on.
