Rent Ledger
A rent ledger is a financial record of rental payments made by a tenant. Landlords can use rent ledgers to track rental payments, late fees, and other charges. They can also be used to provide evidence of rental income in the event of an audit. The benefits of using a rent ledger are numerous.
The term ledger stems from the English dialect forms liggen or leggen, meaning “to lie or lay” (Dutch: liggen or leggen, German: liegen or legen); in a sense, it is adapted from the Dutch substantive legger, properly “a book lying or remaining regularly in one place”.
