A simple rent receipt to give a tenant for each payment — especially cash. Some states require a receipt for cash rent; check your state below.
What Tennessee law says
| Rent receipts | No statute — neither Tennessee's Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act nor the general landlord-tenant chapter requires a landlord to give rent receipts. Getting a written receipt, especially for cash, is still a good practice. Official code not freely readable online; text verified on a public code mirror (code year 2024). |
