If you prefer a paper‑based system for managing rent payments, this printable ledger offers a straightforward solution. It tracks one tenant’s payments across a full year, with columns for the month, due date, rent amount, amount paid, additional fees, and a notes section. There’s also a running balance column so you can see at a glance whether the tenant is up to date or owes money. Unlike bulky rent books, this ledger is a single PDF file that you can print as many times as you need, either for multiple properties or to keep copies for your own records.

The design includes both A4 and US Letter sizes, plus two margin options: a centred version and a wide‑margin version that’s perfect for hole‑punching and filing in binders. Each row has plenty of space for writing clearly, which is important when referencing the ledger months later. Landlords and property managers appreciate the flexibility of printing new sheets whenever a tenant moves in, moves out, or renews the lease. You can also give a copy to tenants so everyone has the same record of what’s owed and what’s been paid.

Using a printed ledger eliminates the need to learn new software and reduces the risk of data loss from computer crashes. You can keep physical copies in a secure folder and refer to them during tenant meetings, tax preparation, or when reconciling bank deposits. The notes section lets you document important details like late payment arrangements, rent increases, or maintenance issues. Overall, this printable rent payment log provides a simple, organised approach to rental bookkeeping that supports transparent communication and reduces disputes.
