Why keep a rent ledger
A rent ledger is simply a dated record of every payment a tenant makes over a tenancy. It sounds basic, but it's the document that settles arguments: whether rent was paid on time, how much is still owed, and what a security-deposit deduction for unpaid rent should actually be. If a dispute ever reaches small claims, a clear payment history is exactly what a judge wants to see.
Most property-management apps put rent tracking behind a signup or a monthly subscription. This one is free and runs entirely in your browser — add each payment as it comes in, and export the full ledger as a PDF whenever you need a copy. Pair it with the rent receipt generator to give tenants a receipt for each payment you log.
