This rent receipt generator gives a tenant proof that rent was paid for a set period. Fill in the landlord, tenant and amount, then download a PDF.
This rent receipt maker starts with a rent line and this month as the rental period, so most receipts take a minute.
A rent receipt is the landlord's or agent's written confirmation that rent for a stated period was received. It protects both sides: the tenant can prove they paid, and the landlord has a clear record if there is ever a dispute.
Only record rent that was really paid, and only for the period it covers. A monthly rent receipt for each payment, numbered in order, gives both of you an unbroken history of the tenancy.
A clear rent receipt format answers who paid whom, for what, and when. This tool has a field for each of these:
For a house rent receipt paid in cash, the signature matters most, because there is no bank record to fall back on.
Tenants often need a receipt for every month of the year at once, for their own records or an application. In the receipt details, set the rental period to the whole range, such as 1 January to 31 December, and choose one receipt per month. The PDF then has a separate page for each month, up to 24.
Each page covers one calendar month, takes the next receipt number in order, and is dated on the same day of its month as the payment date you entered. Only include months for which the rent was really paid.
Both can travel between the same landlord and tenant each month, but they do opposite jobs:
| Rent receipt | Rent invoice | |
|---|---|---|
| Who sends it | The landlord or agent | The landlord or agent |
| When | After the rent has been received | Before the rent is due |
| What it shows | The amount received, the period it covers and how it was paid | The amount owed, the period it covers and the date it is due |
Many landlords skip the invoice when the rent and due date are fixed in the lease, and send only a receipt once the money arrives.
