Track rent, log security deposits, and generate rent receipts for tax records — free for U.S. landlords and renters.
Landlord–tenant law in the U.S. is set at the state and local level. Security deposit caps, return deadlines, and notice periods vary significantly by state.
Landlords report rental income on Schedule E; renters may need rent records for state renter credits. RentyBase keeps timestamped rent receipts for both sides.
Many states cap security deposits at one to two months’ rent and require return within 14–30 days of move-out with an itemized statement of deductions.
General information only, not legal or tax advice. Rules vary by region and change over time — confirm with the relevant authority.
Leases of one year or longer should be in writing to be enforceable in most states (under the Statute of Frauds). Shorter or month-to-month tenancies can be oral, but a written lease protects both parties — and RentyBase keeps the rent record either way.
It depends on the state. Many states cap deposits at one to two months’ rent, and several have no statutory cap. Most states require the deposit to be returned within 14–30 days of move-out with an itemized list of any deductions.
Some states and cities require a rent receipt on request (especially for cash payments). Regardless of the rule, a timestamped receipt protects both landlord and tenant — RentyBase generates one for every logged payment.
Landlords get a clean, exportable record of rent collected for Schedule E, and renters get receipts for state renter credits. Every payment is timestamped and downloadable as a PDF.
