Your tenant asks for their rent receipt. You open Word, look for last month's template, change the date and amount, export to PDF, send by email. Ten minutes. Multiplied by twelve months, multiplied by the number of properties.

There's a much faster way to do this.

What is a rent receipt and who must provide it?

The rent receipt is a document by which the landlord certifies having received payment of the rent and charges for a given period. It constitutes proof of payment.

In France, Belgium and Switzerland, the landlord is required to provide a receipt free of charge at the tenant's request.

What must a valid rent receipt contain?

The fast method: generate your PDF receipt automatically

With Domavix, the receipt is generated automatically as soon as you validate a payment. All information is pre-filled from the tenant's file: names, address, rent, charges, period.

You click "Generate receipt" — the PDF is ready. You click "Send" — the tenant receives it by email within the second.

Can monthly sending be automated?

Yes. Domavix can automatically send the PDF receipt every month as soon as the payment is marked as received. You set this up once.

What if the tenant pays in two instalments?

Partial payments happen. Domavix records the amount received, indicates the remaining balance, and generates a partial receipt if needed.
