Free Rent Increase Letter Template
A Rent Increase Letter is the formal notice a landlord sends a tenant to raise the monthly rent before a new term or period begins. It states the current rent, the new rent, and the effective date so the change is documented in writing. Landlords and property managers use it to give proper notice and keep a clear record.

Questions
Can this replace a rent receipt book?+
Yes — generate and print receipts as needed instead of buying carbon-copy books. Each receipt is numbered by you, and the rent ledger keeps the running history the book's stubs used to.
What is a rent ledger?+
A rent ledger is a month-by-month record of rent charged, payments received, and the running balance for a tenancy. Landlords use it for taxes and bookkeeping; courts ask for it in eviction and security-deposit cases; tenants request it as proof of payment history.
Is this template really free?+
Yes — the generator, printing, and CSV download are free with no signup. A free account lets you save ledgers; Pro adds Excel export and unlimited saved ledgers for multiple properties.
Will this hold up in court?+
Courts want a clear, dated, month-by-month accounting — exactly what this produces: charges, payments, dates, and running balance in a clean layout. Pair it with your lease and payment evidence (bank records, receipts). For legal advice about your specific case, consult an attorney.
Can I record partial payments and late fees?+
Yes. Each month's row has the amount due, the amount actually paid, and a notes field for late fees or partial-payment details — the running balance updates automatically.
Can I use it for multiple tenants or properties?+
You can generate as many ledgers as you like. Pro accounts keep them saved and organized per property and tenant, so monthly updates take seconds.
Is my data private?+
The ledger is built in your browser — nothing is sent to our servers unless you save it to your account, and saved ledgers can be deleted anytime.
