A rent record you can actually defend.
Every charge, every payment, and a running total that answers “what does this tenant owe today?” without any arithmetic. Accountants call this a ledger; your tenant just calls it their statement.
No card. Nothing for your tenants to install.
One list, one column headed Due.
Rent, electricity, water, a share of the society bill, a late fee, a payment — all on one list in date order, with the balance carried down the side. The number at the bottom is what is owed right now.
| Date | Description | Charged | Paid | Due |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 01 Apr | Rent — April | 25,000 | — | 25,000 |
| 04 Apr | Electricity 142 units @ ₹15.00 | 2,130 | — | 27,130 |
| 05 Apr | Lift AMC — share Building bill ₹9,600 ÷ 8 units | 1,200 | — | 28,330 |
| 06 Apr | Payment — UPI Confirmed by you | — | 28,330 | 0 |
| 01 May | Rent — May | 25,000 | — | 25,000 |
| 03 May | Water Billed for April | 640 | — | 25,640 |
| 08 May | Payment — UPI | — | 20,000 | 5,640 |
| Outstanding today | ₹5,640 | |||
Payments simply reduce the total.
No spreading a part-payment across three months of arrears to make a report balance. Money in reduces what is owed. That is the whole rule.
Your tenant sees the same page.
Tenants with a login get their own statement, their receipts and their deposit list — read-only. Most balance disputes are really disagreements about what was charged, and they end quickly once both sides are looking at the same list.
Two tenants in one year stay separate.
A flat’s year can cover an outgoing and an incoming tenant. Each tenancy has its own total starting at zero, and the previous tenant’s arrears are never carried onto somebody who has just moved in — unless you choose to, and are told whose they were.
Corrections are corrections, not quiet edits.
Change or remove a line and Rentio re-checks which tenancy it belongs to and records what changed. Lines inside a year you have already closed are locked — reopen the year to change them.
Deposits and rent paid ahead, kept separate.
A security deposit and rent paid in advance are two different things, so they are two different pots, each with its own dated list. Put an advance towards rent in one click and it appears on the statement as a real payment. Reverse it and the pot is restored.
Receipts and HRA statements, on demand.
A rent receipt for any payment, and the yearly House Rent Allowance statement for the April–March year, both as PDF. Your PAN appears automatically once the year’s rent passes ₹1,00,000 — which is exactly when your tenant’s employer starts asking for it.
