Is a landlord required to provide rent receipts?
Yes, on request: a landlord must give the tenant a receipt for rent or other money paid in relation to the premises. The Act does not list what the receipt must say. It does require the landlord to keep a complete, up-to-date record of rent and other money received, identifying the tenant and the premises it relates to. A receipt showing the amount, the date received, the period it is for and the address is good practice.
