Quittance de loyer in English — automatic ALUR rent receipt (PDF)
AdminLanding Editorial
Your tenant needs a rent receipt — for proof of address, a visa file, or just every month on time — and remembering to send it is one more thing on your plate. Rent issues an ALUR-format quittance de loyer in French and can send it automatically each month, all from a bilingual EN/FR interface.
First property free — then €49/property (€39 each additional)
Quick answer
A quittance de loyer (rent receipt) is the document a French landlord issues to confirm the rent was paid in full for a given period. Under Article 21 of the law of 6 July 1989 (loi 89-462) it must be provided free of charge on the tenant's request and must separate the rent from the charges; any clause charging for it is void (Article 4(p)). It also serves as a justificatif de domicile for titre de séjour, bank-account or benefit applications, and since the ALUR law (2014) it can be sent by email with the tenant's prior agreement. Rent generates an ALUR-format quittance in French — from a bilingual EN/FR interface — and can send it automatically every month.

What is a Quittance de Loyer?
A quittance de loyer is an official document by which the landlord acknowledges receiving the full rent payment from the tenant for a given period. It is governed by Article 21 of the French Law of July 6, 1989 (loi n° 89-462). The receipt must clearly separate the rent amount (loyer) from the charges (provisions pour charges). It serves as proof of payment and can be used as a justificatif de domicile for administrative procedures such as titre de séjour applications, bank account openings, or social benefit claims.
Landlord's Obligations
- Provide a rent receipt at no cost upon tenant request (Article 21, loi du 6 juillet 1989).
- No fees may be charged — any such clause is void (Article 4(p), loi 89-462).
- The receipt must distinguish rent from charges.
- Electronic sending is valid since the ALUR law (2014), with the tenant's prior agreement.
- If the tenant has only partially paid, the landlord issues a reçu (partial receipt), not a quittance.
Required Information
A valid rent receipt must include:
- Landlord's full name and address
- Tenant's full name
- Property address
- Date of issue and payment period
- Rent amount (excluding charges)
- Charges amount
- Total amount paid
