  • The monthly rent amount and due date
  • Other fees charged and their due dates
  • Late fee details

Having all of this information on one sheet makes life EZ for Landlords AND provides vital documentation that Landlords need.

  • Get complete payment history of each rental property at a glance
  • Quickly identify if rent is late and timely contact Tenants and/or submit a Late Fee Notice
  • Have thorough documentation should you have to initiate eviction proceedings
  • Note: Our Eviction Timeline Record can be used in conjunction with the Rent Ledger to provide Landlords with additional evidence and documentation
  • Stay on top of Lease Renewal dates

All Landlords should keep a Rent Ledger for each property, whether they have 1 unit or 200 units.

Our Rent Ledger is especially helpful for Landlords with multiple Tenants in one unit - it makes it EZ to keep up with all payments.

Other Forms You Might Need

  • Rental Application: the best way to make sure rent is consistently paid on time is by having good Tenants. A Rental Application and thorough Tenant Screening help you find good Tenants that consistently pay rent on time.
  • State-Specific Lease Agreement: the Lease is the most important form Landlords use and is the key to a good Landlord experience.

    Pro Tip: your Lease needs to comply with the laws where your property is located, so it’s vital that you have a state-specific Lease Agreement.

  • Move-In/Move-Out Checklist: this form should be used during both the move-in and move-out walkthrough. It lets you document the condition of the property and is particularly important should you need to make deductions from the security deposit.
  • Rent Receipt: this form makes it EZ to provide Tenants with documentation of their monthly rent payment. It’s always a good idea to have a system of providing Tenants with documentation of payments, and, should a dispute arise, this will help the Landlord prevail.
  • Maintenance Record: Landlords need to keep their property in good condition and know about the expenses associated with each property. This Maintenance Record is a good way to do that.

    Pro Tip: if you keep this up to date, it will be EZ to do your taxes!
