Monthly rent payment receipt template

A rent receipt is written proof that the landlord has received a rent payment. It should state the receipt number, payment date, tenant name, unit address, the rent month paid for, the amount in ringgit and the payment method. Tenants use it as proof of payment, and landlords as a record of rental income.

Issue one every time rent is received, including cash payments and bank transfers.
