FREE 8+ Sample Rent Receipts in MS Word | PDF

When a tenant has made a payment to his or her landlord, a rent receipt must be issued as it serves as a formal documentation of the payment that was made. When these documents are issued, it means that there is an implication that payment terms and conditions have been understood by both parties. Just like any type of receipt out there, two copies of rent receipts are made—an original copy that is given to the tenant and a carbon copy for record-keeping purposes of the landlord.

We have prepared seven Sample Receipts that will serve as you guide when it comes to making a rent receipt that looks professional and top-notch.
