Receipt Requested

The reality of receipts for rent payment is pretty simple – typically a cancelled check will serve as your tenant’s rent receipt. If they pay cash (or request a receipt), then the landlord is required to provide a dated receipt showing amount received. And, of course, you all know that the receipt should be written from a carbon receipt book (I use a spiral bound carbon-less receipt notebook, that way I always know where to find copies of receipts if any questions arise) rather than on a cocktail napkin or toilet paper roll.
