what a shitshow. if it were me as the mom, i would force the landleech to evict me so my daughter could see how "generous" he is. expose it all, right there. what matters more: humiliating steve and your sister and your mother for daring to help each other in crisis, or continued servitude in the landleech's cruel fiefdom?
then, between my fixed income and my daughter+steve, i would try to find a place we could all inhabit. and if my other daughter chose to stay with the landleech after that, we'd be all done. it's not like there's a way back from choosing that evil fuck.
but if she correctly recognized what a sociopath he was, i would help her leave him and pull every string i had to get an absolute shark-eyed law demon to take his ass to the fucking cleaners in divorce court. liquidate whatever we got so we could all live communally.
yeah sure. go for some amicable compromise where there are opportunities to learn and grow for the entire family. but, conceptually, it's good to have a calculated nuclear option in the back pocket, ready to execute. come up with a checklist of steps and refer to it as something cool, like the Argus Protocol.

Idk this reads like a drama TV show, I think OPs decision to try and not let Adam find out was the best idea by far for now
I think illegally squatting next is the move, especially since it sounds like she has a signed lease of 1 dollar per month

The problem with that plan is that it involves homelessness also I bet Adam has more ability to hire a divorce lawyer than his wife
