Re: rent receipt by Nicole (PA) on April 24, 2014 @13:54

I have one tenant who deposits the rent directly into my bank account. My credit union will not give him a receipt because it's not his account. when I see on line that he's paid the rent, I mail him a receipt the same or next day...

Personally, I think my tenant is nuts for doing this without a receipt but he's comfortable enough with it.

As for your tenant, why not just say no, you're not bringing it over and mail it ... where I live, mail still gets delivered the next day.

Thanks Nicole, same where I live. This is what I was doing, and I will continue this way. Paying with a Credit Union or Bank check, she has a receipt anyway : I do not understand why she wants a second one. Well, those rent receipt stories are for the tenants paying cash - I am right ? When paying by check, I assumed they do not need a receipt.

oh, I just read your previous post -these are the people upstairs that were making the noise. Now I understand regarding the receipt just mail it. Also, be prepared for other little things they will do. This is a minor thing. Mail the receipt. Good luck.

Yep ! they are the one ... and I am prepared ;) The thing is: if we, as landlords, would like to do petty disturbing things like that against our tenants, everybody will cry "retaliation!" against us. I said it once, I am saying it again : yes, tenants are retaliating against us landlord in a thousand ways and we are not well protected against it. oh well.
