Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Pennsylvania

Re: No Receipt?

You asked about rent receipts.

A landlord must provide a rent receipt if the rent is paid in cash. If the rent is paid by check then then may rely on the check functioning as the rent receipt. If they demand a specific type of payments, such as a money order, you should examine what type of receipt will be sufficient.

But generally, it is common for landlords to forgo receipts for rent paid by check.

Re: No Receipt?

If you're paying by check I don't see a problem as you can always get a copy of the canceled check.

Now if you pay in cash I would expect a receipt. Though I doubt many places to cash for rent anymore.

Did they give you a reason why they don't give receipts?
