Get receipts for all your payments

Housing Law Guided Pathways: Form T1

Fill out tenant application about money you want returned from the landlord

A landlord must give you receipts for all payments if you ask for them. It is illegal for a landlord to charge you for a receipt or refuse to give you one.

Whenever you give a deposit, rent payment, or any other money to your landlord, always make sure you get a receipt. Your receipt should have the following information:

• your name
• the address of your rental unit
• the landlord's name
• the amount you paid
• the date you paid
• what the money was for
• your landlord's signature
