As a tenant, you must respect some rules and conditions to continue to live in your home. Paying your rent is one of them, and surely the most important one. But how can you prove to your landlord that you have fulfilled this obligation? That’s when the rent receipt is coming! You’ve never heard of it? No worries, this time has come. The rent receipt is a document that attests to your seriousness towards the landlord. In concrete terms, it certifies that you have paid the rent you owe to your landlord. As a tenant, the rent receipt serves as proof of residence and can be useful for certain administrative procedures. It should not be confused with the rent certificate. This document filled in by your landlord is to be sent to the CAF when you are applying for housing assistance.<\/span><\/p>\n

Your landlord must give you this document when you have paid your rent. Even if many rental agencies systematically deliver it, it is not mandatory for your landlord to give you this. On the other hand, the <\/span>law of July 6, 1989, stipulates in the article 21 of the law n\u00b089-462<\/span><\/a> that “<\/span>the owner is in the obligation to provide a receipt of rent if the tenant asks for it<\/span><\/i>“. Of course, this is free because you are within your rights. The landlord should not charge the tenant an extra for sending it. These receipts can be sent to him at the post office or in a dematerialized way (under the form of a pdf sent by email, but not in a word format). In a shared apartment, the rent receipts take the same form as in a classic rental. However, some subtleties can be brought according to the model of lease as indicated below.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

As you probably know, there are <\/span>different lease models<\/b>. The emitted model depends on what your landlord prefers. Your landlord may choose to issue a single lease common to <\/span> all of the roommates, or he may choose to issue several-individual leases.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

This type of contract is the simplest for the owner to produce because all the co-tenants are registered on the same lease. A solidarity clause is oftentimes included in this type of lease. This one is financial. It allows the owner to ask for the full rent, even if one of the tenants leaves its room, as so, the apartment. You will have understood that this solidarity is also found in the rent receipt. A single-rent receipt is issued for the entire apartment share., with the names of all the co-tenants. The owner \/ landlord can choose to indicate the total amount of rent on the receipt. He can also choose to indicate the details of the rent per roommate. Nothing is required by the law. By choosing to write a single lease, the owner shares the responsibilities in case of damages, etc. among the number of roommates present.<\/span><\/p>\n
