Maybe she has now got a way to file her rent on her taxes? --73.190.xxx.xxx

Make one. Change the date each month. Snap pic with your phone and text it to them. --172.59.xxx.xx

Add a $50 administrative surcharge for sending the invoice. --107.141.xx.xxx

There is good reason to offer a rent receipt, add a line where the tenant signs showing there are no faults with the house or apartment - you may want this in a deposit dispute some time after they have left and are unhappy about the refund amount - your honor there was never a reported problem with the bathtub drain. until they left it plugged. --184.59.xxx.xx

P.S. The $50 is a fee, not rent. You are not violating the lease by charging it. --107.141.xx.xxx

I see nothing wrong with providing a tenant a receipt. They shouldn't be charged for it either. Technically, they have already earned one, just like when we buy something and get a receipt. If I where top get charged extra for a receipt, I would change who I was doing business with real fast. --73.190.xxx.xxx

I think the difference is that with a tenant you have a lease that spells out what the rent is, so there's confusion if the check paid the rent in full or not --68.56.xxx.xx

There is no confusion if the check paid rent in full --68.56.xxx.xx

Big deal,send an invoice a week before the rent is due. some people are just weird about certain things.I invoice everyone who pays me a mortgage,when i started doing it my collections increased.I had tenants a few years ago who wanted a receipt,I invoiced them,they mailed a money order i mailed a receipt back. i tried explaining that the money order had a receipt attached that they saved but they wanted a receipt from me. --74.77.xx.xx

Memo on check and check cashed usually served as my receipt. Invoice vs receipt though? --73.230.xxx.xx

I’ve invoiced every tenant, every month since I’ve started. Them getting accustomed to a monthly invoice has gotten me paid MANY times when that last invoice shows up at their new address with a balance due after move out. Combine that with a 10-20% discount for immediate payment and you can escape a lot of problems. --24.152.xxx.xx

So I tell my tenants they need to have their own files because after the second request, I'm charging them $25 for each page of any document they request from me. --47.149.xxx.xx

Actually for a home office charging 10 percent in tax write off is common, my former GF did this with her furniture refinishing business at her dad's house - some of us have another address that is used at 100 percent - the unconventional method would warrant the service fee - but you must have a conventional method stated in the lease. With atlanta rythm section rolling in my background.... you need towork on this... --184.59.xxx.xx

Maybe they are wanting it as a helpful reminder? --73.190.xxx.xxx

--47.139.xx.xxx

In NY of a tenant requests it once, you have to always provide a receipt. That is something buildium does well. A letter is generated every time rent is recorded. --172.56.xxx.xx

Jim, I agree with you. Tenant shouldn't expect you to send a reminder(invoice) every month that their rent is due on the 1st. If they must have it, then send them a refrigerator magnet: RENT IS DUE ON THE FIRST OF EVERY MONTH. Maybe have some t-shirts made too. These will be nice Christmas gifts. --107.141.xx.xxx

The best suggestion ever was from a lady in Nevada that used to be in California. She gave her tenants a keychain with the keys from a local addiction attorney. That was priceless. --99.23.xxx.x

I do agree, however, that there should usually be no need for an invoice for rent as a reminder, since it is the common practice to not receive an invoice for rent. On the other hand, do banks not send invoices for a mortgage? --73.190.xxx.xxx

Perhaps the invoice could include a sponsored add for an eviction attorney? --73.190.xxx.xxx

6x6. The tenant has been with me 2 painful years, the first year was OK but year 2 they brought in a verified ESA dog that has done $2000 damage before they decided they didn’t need an ESA dog. I’m hoping by raising their rent 10% which is $350 They will get the message that they should move. If I DRIVE BY not stop to be sure my gardner is doing a good job they feel this is an invasion of their privacy and send me a text. Their house is on my way home. --99.23.xxx.x

I agree it is a weird request. --76.178.xxx.xxx

CORRECT : eviction not addiction --99.23.xxx.x

Thank you Jim. That explains a lot. --73.190.xxx.xxx

6x6 when i managed my units myself i regularly had tenants say they didnt call me for whatever reason because they lost my number,i had magnets made up with company name,mailing address and phone number,no one ever complained about losing my number again.seems like once a magnet goes on a fridge they never get thrown out --74.77.xx.xx

Stopped doing it, probably due to laziness. Have considered starting the practice up again, even tho most won't remember it is there anyhow. --107.147.xx.xxx

Life is too short for all that. --107.147.xx.xxx

Assuming the tenant is ok in other respects, why not give them 12 invoices, one for each month of the next year, all at one time. --108.201.xx.xx

From other post--> I would be sending a bill to the tenant for the damages in next rent cycle, the unpaid portion carries over to the next rent bill, it may lead to an eviction when ignored and unpaid. but damage is damage and it is not rent - if this is a verified esa the law says we can not charge rent but same as returning a car to enterprise with a torn up seat or broken window the car rental agreeement will not cover damages. --184.59.xxx.xx

I believe since the 2019 rules in NYS you must supply a receipt no matter form of payment. --64.246.xxx.xx

Thank you Ken. --73.190.xxx.xxx

Jim in OC, sell. You're way in over your head. --184.57.xxx.xx

I looked into that but cap gains and depreciation recapture would cost $258,000 in taxes. This tenant is not worth that. --99.23.xxx.x

Utah or South Dakota are close enough to keep you flush with your investment. --184.57.xxx.xx

6x6, An invoice is not a receipt. An invoice is a bill. The tenant wants the landlord to send them a bill every month for the rent. Then, I guess after they pay it, they would want a receipt. --73.141.xxx.xxx
