How to Prove Rent Payments (Free Rent Ledger Generator)
When a landlord or court asks for proof of rent, screenshots and scattered statements can slow you down. Use the CourtPDF Rent Ledger generator to consolidate payments into a single exhibit with a running balance, late fee tracking, and totals.
Step 1: Gather Your Source Records
Download CSV or PDF statements from every service you used for rent: bank transfers, Zelle, Cash App, PayPal, or property portals. Make sure each transaction includes the memo or note referencing rent. If you receive receipts by email, forward them to yourself and save them in one folder before starting the ledger.
Step 2: Map Transactions to a Ledger
The goal is to show a running balance. For each month, list the rent due, payments received, and any late fees. If you split rent with a roommate, list each partial payment separately so the math is transparent. CourtPDF's settings let you add the monthly rent amount, starting balance, and late fee rules in seconds.
Step 3: Generate the PDF Exhibit
- Open the Rent Ledger PDF Generator and drop your CSV/TXT files.
- Review the preview table and adjust filters to focus on the dispute window.
- Click Generate PDF to download a court-ready document with cover summary, running balance, and optional Exhibit label.
Attach Supporting Statements
Pair the rent ledger with supporting statements so reviewers can cross-check amounts. CourtPDF offers dedicated converters for payments:
