How do I write a rent receipt?
Write the date, the tenant's name, the amount in figures and words, the address of the house, the rent period and the landlord's name, then have the landlord sign it. This page fills in that wording for you.
Is a handwritten rent receipt valid?
Yes, if it has the same details and the landlord's signature. A printed receipt is easier to read and quicker to make for twelve months.
Do I need a rent receipt if I pay by bank transfer?
Employers still ask for receipts as HRA proof. Keep the bank entries too; together they are strong evidence.
Is it free, and is what I type sent anywhere?
Yes, it is free, with no sign-up. Everything is worked out inside your browser, so nothing you type is sent to a server.
