1st of March, but not pay the rent til the 15th of March and then just pay the rent on the 15th of every month. To me, it is like she is getting 2 weeks free, but the way she explains it seems to make sense. Is she right? For whatever reason this is very confusing to me. Thanks.

Rent starts the day the renter takes possession of the unit/picks up keys. Regardless of weather the tenant actually occupies/moves in belongings to the premises or not. 2 weeks free is what appears to be happening.

I've been in your Mom's situation before. I had a tenant who wanted to make rent payable on the 15th instead of the 1st. I simply had them pay another 2 weeks rent in addition to 1st month's rent and deposit. They were agreeable with the arrangement, as it was really an accomodation to them.
Your Mom could just charge another 2 weeks rent, but if she's ok with giving them 2 weeks for free, that shouldn't be a problem.

She would be getting the first 2 weeks free. She may be thinking that when she moves out, she will move out on the last of the month, but she will have paid rent until the 15th of the NEXT month. But, she should be paying your mother NOW. Your mother shouldn't have to wait until she moves out to get the rent for the first 2 weeks. This all sounds too fishy to me.

She'd be getting 2 weeks of free rent. If that's what your Mom wants to do, there's nothing illegal about it.
If Mom isn't up to giving away free rent, she could agree to rent being due on the 15th and collect one-half month's rent on the 1st. If so, just make sure that the lease reflects that fact.

A very common rental agreement is the 1st and last months rent up front.If you're friend is not planning on duping your mom this should be agreeable.
