What a rent receipt should include
- Date and receipt number. When the payment was received, and a number so each receipt can be told apart.
- Tenant name. The person who paid. If several tenants share the lease, name the one who paid or all of them.
- Amount and currency. The amount in figures and in words, which makes a handwritten change obvious.
- Rent period. The dates the payment covers, for example November 1 to November 30.
- Property and unit. The rental address and unit number.
- Payment method. Cash, check (with the check number in the notes), bank transfer, card, or another method.
- Balance due. Anything still owed after this payment, so a partial payment is clear.
- Received by. The landlord or agent who received the money, and a signature on paper copies.
Some states and cities require a landlord to give a receipt for cash rent, and some set what it must include. Check your local landlord-tenant rules. Read the step-by-step guide to filling out a rent receipt for examples.
Rent receipt generator questions
Is the rent receipt generator really free?
Yes. There is no signup, no watermark beyond a small footer line, and no limit on how many receipts you make.
Is my information stored or sent anywhere?
No. The receipt is built in your browser and the PDF is created on your device. Nothing you type is uploaded to RentKeep.
Can I make a receipt for a cash rent payment?
Yes. Choose Cash as the payment method. A receipt is especially important for cash, because it is the tenant's only proof of payment.
Which currencies can I use?
Any currency in the list. The preview shows the currency symbol, and the PDF shows the three-letter currency code so it prints correctly everywhere.
How do I keep receipts for every month automatically?
Use the RentKeep app. When you record a rent payment, the receipt is kept with the tenant's payment history, on your phone and on the web.
