Rent receipts from agents and landlords

Receipts can be sent to a tenant using an email address the tenant has given to the landlord.

Rent receipts must show the following:

• name of the tenant
• name of the landlord or agent
• address of the rented property
• date rent was paid
• amount of rent paid
• period of time which the rent covers.

These rent receipt requirements do not apply to public housing tenants (e.g. where the landlord is Homes NSW).

When rent is paid into a nominated bank account, the transactions are considered the tenant's record and the landlord or agent is not required to provide a receipt.
