Can i legally ask a tenant to provide proof that there rent was paid for the last 4 or 5 months?

Are you referring to a prospective tenant? If you are, I would ask them for their current landlord's phone number and call them about their rental payment history.

No a current tenant. I don't think that she has paid her rent in full every month. My books are coming up short. So I wanted to know if I can legally ask her to provide me proof (receipts) that show her rent was paid.

May I ask, how do you not know if the tenant has paid the rent in full every month? How does the tenant pay you?
