Ways to pay your rent
You can agree to pay rent by:
- cheque or money order
- debit or credit card
- email money transfer or e-transfer
- cash
Get rent receipts
The law says that your landlord must give you a receipt if you ask for one. Your landlord cannot charge you for this. And, after you move out, your landlord must give you past receipts if you ask for them within 12 months.
Get a receipt each time you pay your rent or a deposit. Rent receipts can be very important if you have a dispute with your landlord.
Your receipt should have:
- your name and the address of your rental unit
- the landlord’s name
- the amount you paid
- the date you paid
- what the money was for
