If my landlord has me pay rent directly into his bank account and I only get a bank receipt showing only a?

Question

deposit into his account, will that be legit proof of payment of rent or do I need an actual written receipt from him?

Answer 1

you should ask for a receipt because the deposit wouldn't explain that it is a pay for your rent. Get a written receipt just in case you need in the future. It's always safe to be sure...

Answer 2

It should be..but don't loose the dang things. Maybe have a withdraw slip from your bank account the same day showing the payment amount or better yet, a check or MO....no way he could dance around that then if he is a shiester

=================================

Answer 3

Not that's proof, if worried deposit something written like a money order.. keep receipts

Answer 4

Hey friend, so long as you save the reciepts and or statements he gives you, you should be fine, in addition, keep the proof of your deposit to him along with his bank acccount info as proof of your payment, so long as you have your bank wire info to his bank you are okay! I pay this way to so have no worries.....

Answer 5

If he has asked you in writing to pay directly into his account and has given you the account information or deposit coupons that and your receipts should be enough.

He he has not put it in writing, ask him to do so and keep that for your records.

Answer 6

I assume you are paying by check or money order. Your canceled check or copy of your MO is your receipt. Need more???

Answer 7

if i were you, i'd give your landlord the reciept from the bank and then ask him for a written reciept.

Answer 8

why...

isn't one receipt enough?
