I'd say,
- pay back the $50k gift from her family, even though you might not be legally obligated to. It was given with the intent to help her.
- don't pay back the waived commission. I assume (may be wrong) that she been getting 'free' housing (and maybe more) from you for a number of years, or was contributing only very minimally to her share of expenses? What is the commission worth - under $20K (after tax)?
