Rent ledger

Keep a period-by-period record of rent due, rent paid and arrears, with the running balance worked out for you. Free, no sign-up.

A rent ledger is what a court asks for first, and what a tenant asks for when the figures are disputed. In England and Wales a possession claim for arrears must be supported by a schedule going back at least two years. Enter one line per period — what was due, what was paid — and the running balance is calculated, so the arrears figure is arrived at rather than asserted.

Frequently asked questions

What makes a rent ledger useful in a dispute?

That the arrears figure is arrived at rather than asserted. In England and Wales a possession claim for rent arrears must be supported by a schedule showing the amount due at the start of the period, every payment with the period it is allocated to, and a running total, going back at least two years. A ledger kept that way proves the arrears at the date of the notice and again at the hearing, which is what the mandatory ground requires.
