Frequently Asked Questions about Ledgra
How do I write a simple rent receipt?+
List the amount paid, date, tenant name, property address, payment method, and period covered. Ledgra fills all six in seconds.
Are there free rent receipt templates?+
Yes — Ledgra's first receipt is free with no login. Upgrade only if you want saved profiles.
Is a rent receipt legally required?+
It depends on your state. Some require receipts for cash payments; most tenants ask for one regardless. Providing one is good practice.
What should a rental application include?+
Applicant contact info, current address, employer and income, references, desired move-in date, and consent to screen.
Can I charge a rental application fee?+
In most states, yes — check your state's cap. Ledgra generates the application; fee collection is separate.
Do I need to sign the receipt?+
A landlord signature isn't always required but adds credibility. The PDF includes a signature line either way.
Can I use Ledgra on my phone?+
Yes. The form and PDF preview work on mobile — meant for logging a payment right after receiving it.
Does my signature appear on the receipt PDF?+
Yes — once you create a free account and save a signature on your account page, it's automatically stamped on every rent receipt PDF you download. Anonymous receipts get a blank signature line instead. Rental applications don't include a signature.
