What a French rent receipt must contain
- A title that clearly says it is a rent receipt (quittance de loyer).
- The full name of every tenant who signed the lease.
- The exact property address as written in the lease (building, floor, door).
- The landlord’s name, address and contact details; for a property company (SCI), its name, registered office and manager.
- The period covered, with start and end dates.
- The amounts paid, with rent and charges listed separately, in figures and in words.
- The date and place of issue.
- The landlord’s signature.
Quittance or reçu: getting it right
A quittance certifies that rent and charges for the period were paid in full. If the tenant paid only part, the landlord gives a partial payment receipt (reçu) stating the amount paid and the balance due. Issuing a quittance for an incomplete payment could suggest the debt is settled.
The generator applies this rule automatically: enter the amount received and it produces a quittance or a reçu as appropriate.
Frequently asked questions
Does a landlord in France have to issue a rent receipt?
Yes. Article 21 of French law no. 89-462 of 6 July 1989 requires the landlord to provide a receipt (quittance) free of charge when the tenant asks for it, once rent and charges are paid in full.
Can the landlord charge for the receipt?
No. No fee for preparing or sending the receipt or the due notice may be charged to the tenant.
What about partial payments?
The landlord issues a receipt (reçu) stating the amount paid and the balance still due, not a quittance. The generator picks the right document from the amount received.
Can I send the receipt by email?
Yes, with the tenant’s express agreement. Keep a record of that agreement (an email from the tenant is enough in practice).
How long should receipts be kept?
Tenants should keep them for at least 3 years, the period during which unpaid rent can be claimed. Landlords keep copies for their accounts and rental income tax return.
Is my data sent to a server?
No. The PDF is built in your browser. Only anonymous counters (page view, PDF downloaded) are stored to measure usage.
What if your receipts sent themselves?
