You do not need to include the length of stay. You will need to divide the interval (22 months/1 year)… 0.46%/(22/12)=0.25% per year.
From there, it would make sense to control for age. To do that, youd want to integrate an actuarial table based on age demographics for both populations. It would also make sense to control (if data is available) death rates mortality rates for a similar at-risk population… you could go on and on.
Ultimately, statistics can be tortured into telling you whatever you want to hear.

Usually, yes. There are exceptions for “conditional gifts” which mainly comes in two flavors: wills and engagement rings.
I’m also sure a pair of lawyers would love to argue back and forth for weeks on whether the $12 gold-plated necklace was “requested calmly and gifted back” or “taken with an implicit threat of violence…”
He might have saved his bacon… The same day eviction is a “whoopsie daisy” that is unlikely to get anywhere in court… If she got the go ahead to stay for a few days, she can dig in and drag out the eviction, or worse yet change the locks on him and completely destroy his life for months.
