Handling Rent in Bookkeeping

How does a rent receipt template fit in with the bookkeeping of a business or property owner?

The receipt is an accounting source document and copies can be printed and filed away in a receipts folder or the banking folder. It is usually only necessary, and highly recommended, to issue receipts for cash payments, not so much for cheque/check payments or bank transfer.  

See our free printable receipt page for more on this.

A little Excel knowledge is useful, but if you are not very familiar with Excel there is a help button you can click on for detailed, online help.

Downloading and Saving the Template

Similar to our free printable receipt, the rent receipt template comes with two sheets for two styles – one with a blue shaded background and the other with lines and no shading - to save printer ink or just if your prefer the plain look.

They are both included in the Excel download above. Here is a screenshot of the Excel tabs for both templates and is what you will see when you open the workbook:

Once you have opened the Excel download, click on ‘File’ then ‘Save As’ and give the receipt a name of your choice, saving it to a folder you can remember on your computer.

If you want to adjust the look or layout of the receipt/s, make your changes and once you are satisfied save it as an Excel template.

Saving it as a template means that every time you want to issue a receipt and you fill in all the information such as date, tenant’s name etc., when you go to save the receipt to your computer, it will save to a new document which you can give a unique name, like the tenant’s name and month of receipt [T Adams – February].

Meanwhile, the original template stays exactly the same so you can use it again and again!

Filling in the Rent Receipt Template
