Landlord and Tenant Rights and Responsibilities

questions & answers

Question: Is it required to give a receipt for rent when a payment is made ? I was told by the complex employee where I reside in, does not have to give me a receipt, and they only take money orders, is this practice ok ?

Answer: There is no rule requiring residential landlords or property managers to provide their tenants with rent payment receipts, so if a landlord or property manager refuses to provide one, it is up to the tenant to find other ways to document the payment (for example, by keeping copies of payment instruments, indicating what the amount on each payment instrument was for, following up by text or email to confirm payment, and/or having a witness present when payment is made).
