Rent Receipt

Date: Tenant's Name: Tenant's Address:

Landlords Name: Landlord's Address:

Dear

I am requesting a receipt for the rent I have paid you in cash. This is a legal requirement of the landlord under section 26 (2) of the Residential Tenancy Act (RTA). That section of the Act states: A landlord must provide a tenant with a receipt for rent paid in cash. You can confirm this information by calling the Residential Tenancy Branch (RTB) at 604-660-1020 or 1-800665-8779. I believe it is best to sort this out without having to go to dispute resolution at the RTB. I look forward to receiving my rent receipt from you. Thank you,

(Signature)

Always keep a copy of any correspondence you send to your landlord for future reference. It is also beneficial to have someone (preferably not just a co-tenant or family member) witness delivery of the letter and sign the copy you keep indicating the date and method of service. This can be used as evidence if you need to pursue further action through a dispute resolution hearing.
