Drafting notes
- Under the Civil Code of Québec, a person who pays is entitled to an acquittance; the tenant may therefore demand a receipt, particularly when paying cash.
- For a dwelling, the landlord may not require post-dated cheques or any deposit other than the first month’s rent.
- The receipt does not replace the RL-31 slip required for the solidarity tax credit.
- Number receipts consecutively and always state the period covered.
