Rent ledger

A transaction record of charges, payments, credits, adjustments, and balances for a rental account. It differs from a rent roll summarizing leases.

At a kitchen table, two owners look at an open rent ledger, a clipped stack of receipts and a laptop
  1. Record each payment
  2. Keep the receipts
  3. Track balances owed

Where it matters

Keep dates and payment status clear, reconcile to receipts, and preserve corrections rather than overwriting the history.
